If the original poster wants to fly to SNA and not fly a US domestic flight, see if the schedule is ok for KLM AMS-YVR (Vancouver) and Westjet YVR-SNA. US Customs at YVR is very quick and easy. Westjet and KLM can earn Delta SkyPesos.

The above poster's AMS-IAH-SNA routing may be good because the US portion is not too long so it's not too demoralizing.
Or, DL through SLC or PDX, decent connections, 2-ish hour domestic legs, and airports very unlike EWR and ORD for clearing customs.
