Ok guys,i`m planning on going.I need exact location and hotel recommendations? should i fly through Santa Ana(John Wayne)airport or LA? ........Albert

The Best of Is about 50 miles from John wayne. So it might be less expensive to fly into LAX... JJ

Burbank Hilton is across from the airport... about 10 miles from the event.

LAX has lots of hotels up and down the 405 to Van Nuys... is about 17 miles away but loads of traffic. 

What else are you planning to do and how much time have you to stay?

My best,

how long i will stay as it all depends if i can get my father inlaw to babysit again for the weekend.Wifey is going for sure.Plans are for to arrive on saturday leave on sunday,or maybe monday(our wedding anniversary).Worst scenario is me coming and leaving on same day sunday.
I`ve never been through LAX airport,but would rather avoid it as i dislike big city airports.So I`ll probably be arriving and leaving through John W,but i believe AA flies to Burbank.I`m gonna check on that........Thanks

... your trip would be consumed in LAX alone... and John Wayne is just too damn far.

AA, Alaska and Southwest all use Burbank...

Wish I could help with the kid and othe accomodations, but just can't at this time...

Looking forward to seeing you...

My best,

and don`t worry about accomodations,I`m fine.Just want to go there and finally meet all of you guys at the show.
AA have 3 flights from DFW and 4 flights back all from BUR.SNA have 10!!!!!!!! each way and now using 737`s in all of them.I don`t mind the driving,it will all depends on how they look at departure day as i fly standby.But will definately avoid the LAX airport hassles.....Thanks again my friend and just make sure you attend!!!! I want to receive your blessings Papa........Albert

it really isn't too much of a hassle, especially when flying AA, which I believe is Terminal 6 and closest to the airport exit. From there, a drive up the 405 shouldn't take you more than 30-40 minutes to get into the SF Valley, where I recommend you find a hotel since the show is in Van Nuys.

I use Orbitz.com when I travel on leisure, just to find hotels and prices, then book at the property's own website once I find the one I like.

Also, you should find tons more options for flying LAX. If you still want to avoid it, also consider LGB (Long Beach). John Wayne will just add to your driving time on the ground and you are restricted on arrival/departure times due to the noise abatement (aka, snobby Newport Beach).

Looking forward to meeting you. Call or email anytime:

Just curious. Doubt I can make it out there, but it would be fun. I could crash at my sister's place in Burbank again.

Duh. I finally thought to check the calendar. November @nd, so I know I can't make that. I have a big project at work over that weekend.

I too use Orbitz a lot,very helpful....Gonna start searching in order to decide which airport to use.........Thank you all.......Al

I wouldn't tell my worst enemy to fly to LAX... and Long Beach is just that much further away.

You said your sole purpose was the BFI event... why would you wanna fly into anywhere else when you can be within 10 miles of it?

You can arrive at Burbank... get a car, check into the Marriott, drive to Woodley Park... and go back and forth TWICE before you could get out of the LAX parking lot.

The 405 is a virtual PARKING LOT 24 hours a day... especially with its construction just north of the Santa Monica freeway...

Like you said... you have 10 options with SWA and 3 with AA at Burbank... if ya can't decide on one of those 13, then I'd advise you to stay in bed.  HA!

even from SNA/JWayne.Seems BUR is a winner on my way there,but coming back home not so good as last flight to DFW leaves at 4PM.Too early i believe.Anyway,i don`t work on Monday so lets see how it goes............Thanks again

I am not kidding!

ok, I am kidding!

However, I doooo question Tony's judgement these days.

Seriously, a 'Vette???

Why not fly in Burbank and leave out of LA? You'll definitely find a later flight there. But noooooooooooooooooooooooo.....don't even think it!

hahaha
