All food courts have been closed for months. Good food is scarce!
On Airport Parking is $28 a day after the first day. That means 25 hours parked = $56.
Make sure you get that seatbelt extender, fatty! And how 'bout buying two seats next time!
Southwest security for commoners is ridiculous -- spent the extra $10 and get to use the always-empty fly-by line!
Oh TSA ... here's a tip for you. Your security procedures are horribly inefficient at every airport that you use random scan selection. Let us choose which lane to go through ourselves and less grope.
The Alaskan Airlines terminal is the most insanely crowded terminal I have ever been in!
Terminal one has very limited seating options. As someone that likes to work when at the airport it's a bit frustrating
International arrivals come in between Terminal 1 & 2. You can easily walk to either one, depending on where you need to be.
A variety of food sources, but limited choices for vegans and vegetarians.
David A.March 20, 2013..if you are in Terminal A & have Gates 1-2 Southwest, don't rush through security. Once pass security, area is small & crowded.
If you have a 6am flight- they overbook that time slot, so get there 1.5 hours early or you will fall victim to the long TSA security line and miss your flight!
Kathryn GessnerJuly 27, 2013Under construction but user friendly. Follow the signs and shuttles are on time and speedy.
A very dry airport, with almost no facilities (except free internet). Akin to a bus stop - get on and take off, get off and go home.
Security theater is a participatory activity. Remember to play along.
Virginia TooSeptember 24, 2015A lot of recycled flights (reruns). Can't wait til i get my own pilot license!
If checking in on United Airlines, try to check in with Joanna or Naomi. They're the best!
Dwayne KilbourneSeptember 20, 2011Great airport... even if you are going to USMC boot camp and sitting at the USO!
Walked past security for southwest. Wow don't fly south west out of San Diego. That line is crazy! Almost Sunday afternoon Vegas crazy.
Eric RossNovember 27, 2010The United/Southwest terminal doesn't have a great shopping selection. Make sure you buy your magazines & other things before you go through security.
WallyPark Premier Airport ParkingDecember 21, 2012New shopping and concessions coming in 2013
Get here early enough to politely opt of of the full body scan. There's still an opportunity to break this system.
Joelle CookNovember 21, 2013Premier access security moved slower than the reg lines. When I mentioned it, they blamed the airlines... Wow.
If you're parking offsite use Wally Park! They are super friendly and very affordable.
The airport free WiFi has excellent speed. Well over 50 Mbps both up/down.
Always a pleasure to fly into or out of Lindburgh Airport.
Carver MatheidasOctober 12, 2012There aren't any signs outside security to tell you which gate your American flight will be using. Call AA to get gate info vs. having to wait in line to ask an agent.
John BeelerJuly 20, 2012If you're flying US Airways you're SOL at the AA Admiral's Club and Delta Sky Club with AMEX Plat & Centurion...
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.
Don't book an AA code share with Alaska and expect to go standby. Even as AAPlat or explat.
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.
dropping people off is much nicer now that you do it on the second floor
They close the TSA pre line a lot here but terminal 2 has a Phil's BBQ!
Zeqing LiMarch 29, 2014Transfer in San Diego Airport is painful. You need to go out of security and wait for a small shuttle bus to transfer you to other terminal.
Ranked #10 most dangerous airport to land worldwide... Ill worry about that when I get back... SD love
After going thru the body scan, reward yourself with a cocktail before your flight!
The terminal construction has many of the food spots closed so unless you want California Pizza Kitchen bring your own food.
Chrystal MillsMarch 22, 2014Just want a beer & some food & a seat. Seems impossible in the southwest area ???
Terminal two is absolutely fantastic, terminal one leaves quite a bit to be desired.
Use Torrey pines town car to get to airport. Best car service around. They treat you like royalty.
