Flying into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is one of the most popular ways to get to Palm Springs, as it offers the most direct flight options! LAX is about 107 miles away from Palm Springs, which is roughly a 1.5 to 2-hour drive. If you’re looking for a road trip, pick me up! There are plenty of rental car options on-site at the airport, making it easy to pick up a car and drive at your own pace. Renting a car also gives you the flexibility to explore a bit before or after the celebration. If you’re in the mood for a quick break, we recommend stopping by Verve Coffee in Manhattan Beach for a coffee before hitting the road. For those who prefer not to drive, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are also available.
Flight
Flying into Ontario International Airport (ONT) is another great option for getting to Palm Springs, especially if you’re looking for a smaller, less crowded airport. It’s about 70 miles from Palm Springs, which is roughly a 1.5-hour drive. Ontario International offers a more relaxed experience compared to LAX, and you can rent a car directly at the airport. For those who prefer not to drive, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are also available.

Flying into John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County is another convenient option for getting to Palm Springs! It’s about 85 miles away, which is roughly a 1.5 to 2-hour drive. Looking to hit the beach before or after the wedding festivities? Laguna Beach is just a short drive from the airport and one of our favorites! John Wayne offers a more relaxed experience compared to LAX, and you can easily rent a car directly on-site. For those who prefer not to drive, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are also available.
Flight
Flying into Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is a wonderfully convenient choice for those joining us for our wedding weekend! The airport is just a short 10-15 minute drive from downtown Palm Springs, so you'll be close to all the festivities in no time. PSP is a smaller, more relaxed airport, which makes for a stress-free arrival compared to larger airports like LAX. You can easily rent a car directly at the airport or use ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft to get around.
Travel Note
For those joining us for our wedding weekend in Palm Springs, we highly recommend renting a car to make the most of your time here. While Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and Rancho Mirage are all just a short 10-15 minute drive apart, the Coachella Valley is quite large and includes several beautiful cities, such as Palm Desert, Indio, La Quinta, and Coachella. All of our wedding activities will take place in Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and Rancho Mirage, but having a car will give you the flexibility to easily travel between venues and explore the valley’s stunning surroundings at your own pace. While Palm Springs itself is walkable, renting a car will allow you to fully enjoy the beauty and diversity of the surrounding cities. Rental cars are available at the airport, and for those who prefer not to drive, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are abundant throughout the valley.
Travel Note
Feel free to explore rental options in the Palm Springs area! The Coachella Valley is wide and sprawling, so if you’re considering a rental, the best options will be in **Palm Springs** or **Rancho Mirage**, as these locations will keep you close to the action. Whether you're looking for a charming desert getaway or a more spacious home, both cities offer a variety of rental properties that will make your stay comfortable and convenient for our wedding events. Please note that December is a busy time in the desert, and accommodations tend to book up quickly, so we recommend securing your rental as soon as possible.
