Bid on an upgrade seat if you can, I was pleased with my upgrade.

Get to the San Diego airport early. The security line will be long. Also, if you're flying Alaska Airlines and don't check in online, go to the Alaska Airlines "Agent Assit" counter first. Don't be like me and go to the Alaska Airlines "Bag Drop" line. That was a bit confusing. If you're flying Alaska Airlines.

If veteran or active duty, make sure to stop by USO in terminal 2 (SD airport); right next door to Alaska departures.
