There's 3 main ones you can fly into: SNA (John Wayne), LAX, and LGB (Long Beach). That also happens to be my order of preference, personally!
SNA is small-ish. I hate how far you have to walk to get to ground transportation. Seemed to take f.o.r.e.v.e.r to get to the shuttles! But, it's quick and easy to fly into, and once you get to the shuttles, it's like 30 minutes to the hotels in the DL area.
LAX is huge, and, for me, the most intimidating. That being said, it was NOT as bad as I imagined. Bonus points for the celebrity sighting potential, and the generally lower prices for flights in/out of LAX.
I haven't flown into LGB.
For the record, JetBlue only flies into LGB, and Southwest only flies to LAX and SNA. Otherwise, no idea where other airlines fly!
