Passengers planning to travel during the Thanksgiving holiday are advised to arrive at airports well ahead of their scheduled departure times. For domestic flights, arriving 90 minutes to two hours early is recommended, while international travelers should plan for a three-hour lead time. This allows ample time for parking, luggage check-in, and security screening.
Construction projects under the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) are ongoing at John Wayne Airport. These improvements aim to enhance infrastructure, parking facilities, and terminal amenities. Travelers should allocate extra time as some roadways and terminal areas may be affected by construction activities. Updates on these impacts can be found at www.ocair.com/CIP.
For those driving to the airport, curbside valet parking is available from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Parking Structures A1, A2, B2, and C offer rates of $2 per hour up to $20 daily. Real-time parking availability can be checked online or by calling 949-252-5200. Electric vehicle charging stations are available in specified locations within these structures.
