Local Knowledge Tip: Do Not fly to LAX, SNA, ONT, PSP, LGB or BUR in the LA area for a less expensive airfare, rent a car and drive the 100 - 150 miles to San Diego. The savings isn’t worth the hassle and the San Diego airport is a wonderful place. People who live in Orange County frequently fly out of San Diego instead of LAX, because it’s a much pleasanter experience.
