|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Wayne Orange County International Airport | SNA | 22 km (14 mi) | 5,700 ft | 56 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,700 ft, SNA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 56 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
