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

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

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

    Cool! Free WiFi... Make sure to use HTTPS (secure / encrypted) connection when using Facebook or other applications where you use a password.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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!
