Two business centers

Office trips in Irvine split between two areas. The Irvine Business Complex, next to John Wayne Airport, covers about 2,800 acres of high-rise offices, corporate headquarters and newer housing. The Irvine Spectrum area, about 7 miles southeast near the junction of I-5 and I-405, mixes offices with the outdoor Irvine Spectrum Center. A client visit that starts at one and ends at the other is short in distance but usually runs on I-405, which slows at peak hours, so allow the long end of each range.

John Wayne Airport is minutes away

Destination Irvine notes that SNA is less than five minutes from most of the city's hotels. The Business Complex is about 3 miles from the terminal, UC Irvine about 5 miles and Irvine Spectrum about 9 miles, so most airport rides take 5 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Commercial departures at SNA may not leave before 7 a.m. (8 a.m. on Sundays), so first-flight pickups bunch together early in the morning. See John Wayne Airport transfers for arrival pickups and waiting allowances.

UC Irvine, the Great Park and events

UC Irvine sits south of the Business Complex, between the airport and the coast. Its Bren Events Center hosts games, ceremonies and concerts, and the campus is about 5 miles from the SNA terminal. In the northeast part of the city, the Great Park has a 194-acre sports complex and an ice arena. For team moves between a hotel and a venue, a Mercedes Sprinter van carries up to 16 passengers and 18 bags, and a Luxury SUV carries up to 7 passengers and 6 bags.

LAX and longer trips

LAX is about 42 miles from the Business Complex and about 48 miles from Irvine Spectrum via I-405, usually 60 to 120 minutes depending on traffic. The 405 Express Lanes run 14 miles between State Route 73 in Costa Mesa and I-605 at the Los Angeles County line. Long Beach Airport (LGB) is about 24 miles from the Business Complex. San Diego is about 79 miles from Irvine Spectrum, and long-distance rides within California are available. For roadshows and multi-stop days, see corporate transportation.

Toll roads and rail

Several Orange County toll roads serve Irvine: State Routes 133, 241 and 261 pass through or along the city, and State Route 73 runs along its southwestern edge. All tolls on these roads are collected electronically. Irvine Station, the city's transportation center, has Amtrak and Metrolink service, which makes it a simple meeting point for colleagues arriving by train from San Diego or Los Angeles. You receive chauffeur details and a live tracking link before every pickup.
