    Don't book an AA code share with Alaska and expect to go standby. Even as AAPlat or explat.

    International arrivals come in between Terminal 1 & 2. You can easily walk to either one, depending on where you need to be.

    To all the d-bags that seem to think you have to practically stand on the baggage claim belt - its ok to stand behind the line black line and NOT stand right in front of a person waiting on their bag.

    ..if you are in Terminal A & have Gates 1-2 Southwest, don't rush through security. Once pass security, area is small & crowded.

    Under construction but user friendly. Follow the signs and shuttles are on time and speedy.

    If checking in on United Airlines, try to check in with Joanna or Naomi. They're the best!

    Nice outlets for recharging devices, but crowded and confining with the circle terminal and no where else to wander.

    Terminal one has very limited seating options. As someone that likes to work when at the airport it's a bit frustrating

    Get here early enough to politely opt of of the full body scan. There's still an opportunity to break this system.

    The United/Southwest terminal doesn't have a great shopping selection. Make sure you buy your magazines & other things before you go through security.

    If you're parking offsite use Wally Park! They are super friendly and very affordable.

    Some connecting flights require you to exit and re-enter security. Be prepared for the delay.

    If you need to charge your phone, look for one of the seats with blue LED-backlight power hubs. #nerdalert

    Now long termparking shuttles won't let you off curbside. You have to skybridge it! Call or write SAN and complain....for now allow time to get there.

    Terminal two is absolutely fantastic, terminal one leaves quite a bit to be desired.

    Premier access security moved slower than the reg lines. When I mentioned it, they blamed the airlines... Wow.

    Flying SW and leaving from gate 1 or 2? Stop and get stuff before going through security. Not much after.

    Not much to it, but easy to get around and fairly quick and painless with TSA-Pre.

    The terminal construction has many of the food spots closed so unless you want California Pizza Kitchen bring your own food.
