@blakewest I went to Santa Ana last November and flew non-stop from Austin to Long Beach Airport LGB. It was much cheaper than John Wayne Airport SNA. LGB is about 22 miles from the Summer Slime venue and SNA is 8 miles. I would avoid LAX at all costs unless you absolutely have to fly there.
Thanks for the advice to avoid LAX. I did manage to find a good rate to John Wayne. Very excited! I traveled a bunch in my younger days, but have been stuck at home for years due to family commitments. Fingers crossed my karma is good this time
