Tons of outlets everywhere at Alaska Airlines, except in the bar.
Check out the new full-body scan at Gates 1, 2 in Terminal One (Southwest)while the TSA checks out your junk!
There aren't that many security lanes so come early and be prepared for a long line!
Take an early flight whenever possible, smooth check in/southwest airlines won't even look at your luggage weight ;)
JenniferMay 20, 2010American airlines now let's you have a mobile boarding pass, no more printing paper, check in and use your iphone as your boarding pass!!! Genius! Why didn't they think of this sooner?
Terminal 2 is divided into 2 parts for check in that do not connect. And little signage to help. Virgin Air on east side.
Marcus LMay 2, 2011Food options in the terminal are pretty sparse. Eat before you get to the airport! Also while terminal 2 is under construction the security lines can get pretty long so get here early.- Valet Parking and Biz Select to pass security line makes this the easiest airport in America
I had a hard time connecting ipad to internet at gate 11. Laptop no problem
You can't bring liquids in, but soft drinks are sold for $3.50 a bottle. Stay Thirsty, San Diego!
Dustin FrenchNovember 15, 2010Try the chocolate-covered shame at Barneys and Noblesons Nourishment Emporium. Do it, do it NOW!
Kelly DennisNovember 8, 2013Gates 1 and 2 (and 1a?) are not near 3-10. So if you arrive at 3-10, you have to go through another security checkpoint when connecting. Even though you just got off a flight. -_- Worst. Setup. Ever.
Heather McCabeJanuary 20, 2013Eat before you get here. Terminal 2 construction leave few eating choices!
Friendly staff throughout, but extremely slow security lines. Not sure why, but SAN typically has the slowest security lines of any airport I frequent.
Robert HawkinsJanuary 21, 2013Do not get coffee for anywhere but Starbucks. Not a Starbucks fan, but I ordered coffee from one of the "restaurants" took a sip, paid for it & left it on the table. It was undrinkable.
Don't get there before 5am. the 2hr before flight time rule doesn't apply if you show up before the workers do. Lol- Caran @ScancouverApril 7, 2011Super quick and courteous TSA staff. Comfy seats in waiting areas. Alaskan check in reps snooty though.
Exercise your rights to opt out of a full body scan by utilizing the full body massage from TSA in blue!
Kelli AdamsJune 30, 2010Go online and buy a United Red Carpet Room pass for only $39. Better than trying to work in that crowded part of the terminal.
The employees of the Authority are world class. Stop by and say hi...they are always up for some good conversations.
TSA is trying to cash in on Comic Con by making you check everything. They need the money cuz thus us the only time anyone comes here.
The Southwest terminal is tiny, don't count on getting a seat
Alexander WolffAugust 4, 2012Be sure to check your bag if it's even remotely over carry-on size. I hadn't had to check a certain bag anywhere in the world until here and the lady was nasty and made me wait in more lines. Not cool
Marisa S.March 19, 2012If youre changing planes here and are going from gate 3-10 to gate 1 or 2 you have to go throigh security AGAIN. Do not buy any liquids!!!
SANPARK Pacific Hwy has new bus design. Still blue, but signs look diff. Read carefully so you don't miss it!
The cell phone lot is the best invention ever. Makes pick ups so very easy.
