they are exclusive to each terminal, which can significantly save time during peak periods. - _Time_: For rideshare pickups, head to the departure level or parking structures A2, B2, and C to minimize wait times. - _Money_: Main Street Parking is the cheapest official option at $15/day, with a shuttle to the terminals every 15 minutes. - _Local_: Discover Taps Fish House & Brewery in Terminal C for an authentic Orange County food affair. - _Quiet_: For a lesser-crowded meal, Brodard Express in Terminal B offers a calm reprieve from fast-food chains. - _Avoid_: Don’t use the curb for pickups; instead, meet transportation services at the Ground Transportation Center for easier organization. - _Insider_: Terminal parking access is only from the departure level—plan your drive accordingly to avoid unnecessary loops. ## Travellers notes mentioning SNA - [Long Beach Airport vs John Wayne (SNA) for car‑free and long‑trip flyers](https://airport.flights/notes/lgb-show-orange-county-and) — by Reggie Camarillo, 2026-07-10 If you live along the Long Beach–OC line, the real question is not just LGB vs SNA, it is: bus, rideshare, or long‑term parking, and for how many days.
