Orange County's primary airport, just 4.5 miles (10–15 minutes by car) from the Hyatt Regency. Direct service from most major U.S. cities via Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest, and United. Rideshare pickup is at Terminals A & B curbside zones; taxis run roughly $20–30 to the venue.
LAX is roughly 45 miles north, 60–90 minutes depending on traffic. Use Uber/Lyft from the LAX-it pickup lot, or pre-book a shared shuttle (Karmel, SuperShuttle Express). Allow extra time on Friday afternoons — the 405 South can be heavy.
A small, easy-to-navigate airport about 35 miles north, 35–50 minutes by car. Served by JetBlue, Southwest, and Hawaiian. Often the lowest-stress option from the West Coast — minimal terminals, faster security, and a quick drive down the 405 to Newport.
If flying in from the south, SAN is about 90 miles (90–110 minutes) down the I-5. Consider only if SAN offers significantly better connections — SNA, LGB, and LAX are all closer.
The Hyatt Regency sits just off the 73 Toll Road, with quick access from the I-405 and State Route 55. Self-parking and valet are available on-site (rates set by Hyatt at check-in). Newport Beach is ~50 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and ~85 miles north of San Diego.
Uber and Lyft serve all four airports above. From SNA, expect roughly $20–30 in fare; from LAX, $80–120 depending on time and surge. Karmel Shuttle and SuperShuttle Express offer pre-booked shared rides from LAX to Newport Beach.
