Quick Getaways
Flying to Mexico out of Orange County just became even more convenient. In June, inaugural flights to Mexico City and Cabo San Lucas started with AirTran, and now Interjet becomes the second airline offering direct flights to Mexico from John Wayne Airport. Interjet offers direct flights daily to Mexico City and Guadalajara. Through the end of November you can take advantage of introductory fares to Mexico City for $289, and to Guadalajara for $299 including taxes, and subject to availability.
Interjet, a Mexican airline, offers high quality service, affordable prices, and boasts an excellent safety record. The flights should provide maximum comfort, since 30 seats were removed for more space, and there are complimentary snacks and beverages offered between Mexico City and Orange County. John Wayne Airport is at 18601 Airport Way in Santa Ana.
