Is the John Wayne airport in the OC an international one?
if i fly from zurich, switzerland for example.
NO.
The name is “John Wayne Airport” (from the airports own website), not John Wayne International Airport.
ALL the airline service at SNA is DOMESTIC ONLY!
Here are all the nonstop destinations to/from SNA-

You cannot fly from Switzerland to Orange County/John Wayne Airport. The only international flights into John Wayne are charter.
The closet airport with international nonstop arrivals from Switzerland is Los Angeles/LAX about a 30-45 min drive away.
