Looking to get out of San Diego but you have limited cash in your wallet? We found a nifty tool over at @kayak that will show you how much it cost to fly away on a world map with the price to go there Read more

Get here early. Seriously. You'll always need a couple hours for check-in and security with the long lines.

Unless you're at Gate 1 or 2, your bags will come out on the wrong conveyor - every single time.

Only major airport in the country with back roads and side streets the only way to get there, no direct freeway access

Having to maneuver the train crossing to get to the airport is a lil stressful.

Beautiful airport … great rental car center

Try to time your landing with the fireworks at Sea World. Makes you feel special.
Jon SamusDecember 17, 2012
Most expensive parking fee ever. First day is prorated hourly; whilst after the second day, parking is charged per day regardless of time spent after the 24 hour period.

When flying into SAN, try to sit on the left side of the aircraft. Great view of the Bay and Downtown.

Security is really fast and easy in the PM but get here 2hrs in advance in the super early flights the security line is looooong!

San Diego is nice but every attraction has a upgrade package and the credit card gets over worked. Watch out for the Avis rental car sharks.

Easy in, easy out. Just wish they would finish construction.

Do Starbucks before security if at SWA terminal if leaving at 6 am. Coffee & food choices post-security is scarce.

Even if you have never flown, you watched the news I'm sure be ready for tsa or don't get in line save everyone the time!

Don't leave the Cell Phone Lot until your person gets their lug! There's a 30 plus minut difference.

Go to McDonald's and ask for the Secret Sauce burger! Only location in the world that serves it.
Adena WhiteOctober 23, 2019
This airport is super easy to navigate!

Camden Food Co seems to be the best terminal 2 breakfast option
Bill BrownNovember 17, 2014
The only international airport with 1 (one) runway!
Linda GarlandMay 10, 2013
Nice outlets for recharging devices, but crowded and confining with the circle terminal and no where else to wander.
Brian PaschNovember 4, 2013
You have to call the car rental company to get a pickup.
Nikki MJuly 8, 2013
Good news: it's small and easily accessible. Bad news: it's small and has limited facilities. Be sure to eat before you go through security if you want hot food.

Give yourself an extra 5 minutes to opt-out. Might just save you from cancer later

Security will close for one of the two gate entrances pretty early on a week night. Ask an attendant / guard before schlepping your stuff!
