There's a play area for children. Dog relief area is also available. The women's restroom was clean. Very spacious for luggage to go in the stall if traveling alone. There's also a hook for your bag. I like that there's automated paper hand towels. Lots of food/drink options like Starbucks, Sambazon, Brodaed Express, Qdoba Mexican Eats, Jamba Juice, Taps Brewery, Market 949 (for souvenirs and snacks), and etc. There's a food court with seating near Terminals 14-22. Our flight was for Alaska (Terminal B) but they were in Terminal C since they were using Frontier's gate. Luckily you don't need to go through TSA again and can walk down the long hall to get to a different terminal. Highly recommend flying about of John Wayne Airport when you can!

I recently flew out to Santa Ana (John Wayne Airport) for my first time in several years for a…read moreconference in Anaheim. It was easier to fly into this airport than LAX. I have made a number of trips between Phoenix and Santa Ana previously through both Southwest Airlines and American Airlines. Though I traveled to Anaheim, I didn't have time on my trip to enjoy a lot of what makes Anaheim unique and special (including Disneyland). I flew on American Airlines this time and found myself flying in and out of Terminal A. It was easy to navigate between the gates, baggage claim, and ride-share areas. Unlike friends who absolutely hate flying, I enjoy the travel experience, especially when using some helpful tools like CLEAR, Global Entry/TSA Pre-Check, airport lounge membership, and airline status, most of which I was able to enjoy during my Anaheim visit. When checking in, I typically have been able to skip the check-in area if I didn't need to check bags (as I checked in online). I have previously needing to go and check in at the priority area for assistance and checking bags. I then went to the Terminal A check-in and used Global Entry and TSA Pre-Check Touchless to skip most of the line at Security while keeping my shoes on (thanks to an American Express Platinum card which comes with credits for both along with CLEAR). Santa Ana offers two airline lounges (Admiral's Club and United Club) along with a USO Lounge. The Admiral's Club was upstairs right next to the gate that I ended up flying out of. Fortunately, I already had access to the Admirals Club. I wrote a separate review about my experience there, which was quite positive. There are also plenty of stores and restaurants at the airport throughout the various terminals. Upon arriving with my luggage, I headed to the rideshare area upstairs. There was a staff member there directing everyone to one area or another depending on if you were using Lyft or Uber. Coming back, it was easy to be dropped off at your airline checking area. I have no idea when I plan to be back in Santa Ana again but I would certainly welcome the chance to fly through the John Wayne Airport again.

The message is Walt's opening day speech being sent out over & over again. Beyond that, this is probably my least favorite train station. I feel like it gets incredibly crowded & it's made even worse by people trying to walk to the nearby bathroom. It's just too crowded of an area for there to be a train station. I would highly recommend getting on at another station like Tomorrowland or Main Street. The stations there are more roomy & don't hit right up to a busy foot traffic path.

Daytime hours there's a small pack of people waiting for trains, probably more on the weekends. It does have that urban feel if you happen to be here on off-peak hours.

Opening in Pomona on Sept 19, 2025, the Pomona North Metro Station of the Los Angeles Metro A Line…read moreis now (temporarily) the North Terminus of the longest metro line in the US. I had the opportunity to take most of the 58 miles (45 of the 48 stops) to it from my home in DTLB the day after its opening, taking a bit over 2 hours. The new area is a platform North of the existing Metrolink (commuter rail) station, connected by a pedestrian walkway. All of it is above ground, with some shaded areas. It uses the new modern turnstiles (plexiglass paddles). But as Metro does during new station openings, rides were free during the long weekend, and all the paddles were in the open position. There were also a ton of Metro employees milling around, hopefully enjoying the socialization and California sun. The station is set-up with one shared platform, with both sides marked as going to Long Beach. It has been really impressive that all the signage (electronic and permanent) had been changed to reflect the end point being Pomona North (instead of the previous Azusa station). The station looked and felt new, and there were plenty of families out using it on this weekend. It was also interesting to people watch as the makeup of people changed while moving from the South Bay, through Central LA and Downtown, across the San Gabriel Valley, and deeper into the Inland Empire.

It's an island above ground platform, with trains going both directions, accessible from the middle and no gates to enter or exit. That being said, it never seems as busy as it should be and is a bit hidden, and hasn't been upgraded to the new signage standards of the newer stations (it's especially important here since taking the wrong train means going to Santa Monica instead of Long Beach or vice/versa). Some landmarks visible from the station are the Hope+Flower apartment complex, the Unicorn museum, and the graffiti decorated unfinished Oceanwide Plaza Towers. I used it on Primary Election Day (free rides on all Metro trains/buses) to transfer from the A Line to the E line, going in the same direction.

It used to be that you could see Staples Center right when you exit here, but due to the recent construction of high rise apartments, that's not possible anymore. The Fashion District and L.A. Live are also well within walking distance from this station. I highly recommend taking the metro if you're not a fan of driving into the heavy L.A. traffic during peak hours. Remember to check the Metro if you're getting on the right train. The light blue dot on from means it is the Expo Line!

No wide body passenger flights so it isn't inundated with massive crowds the way some airports are. The biggest drawback is the short runway which limits the size and length of flights available into and out of SNA. For international flights other than Mexico or Canada that means connection flights. The runway length also makes for a unique departure procedure where the planes take off and reduce the power and throttle at 800 feet of altitude. This can be disconcerting for passengers who are unfamiliar with the take off.

This station and stop is well kept up, clean platforms, easy access, signage and kiosk... Exiting off the platform onto the street as well as returning was a bit different from some prior stops or even compared to the Expo line as the jumbo crossing signs are in the path of the sidewalk, which is fine and safe in a lot of ways, but I kept thinking it these started coming down mid cross my tall 6'1 self is like at sign level lol, but you do have a little warning when this happens. Lots of signage to help you navigate and still visible during night. The parking lot is nice (though limited) with connecting services directly in front of it, which you don't see at every Metro Station. I did notice it was barely in use, possibly due to the more recent restrictions and enforcements over the last three years. You can use your metro tap card (physical or digital) to connect with Long Beach Metro buses (reduced rate). Overall was glad to get off here to make my way over to a few places I'd been meaning to check out and only a few stops before the last stop at Downtown Long Beach.
