Flight from John Wayne (Santa Ana) to Oakland

AmyFlew with Spirit Airlines-Dec 2024

Make sure you download your movies in advance and try not to bring more luggage than you need. And keep in mind that the gate at San Diego airport is terribly small.

DavianFlew with Southwest-Sep 2024

Don't rent a car or Uber. Add Clipper Card to your digital phone wallet and use it to take the Bart! It was super easy and very clean with spectacular views along the way
