Flight from San Diego to Los Angeles

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026

Develop a list of essentials, prepare for 3 or 4 interchangeable outfits, 2 pairs of shoes and try not to overpack!

DavidFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026

Arrive early. If you’re over 60 or disabled get LAXtransportation assistance. With assistance the trip between domestic and international is 20 minutes, without assistance or can be over 40 minutes. With a tight connection that can be an issue.

Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Nov 2024

Make sure to arrive at the airport early. On my recent flight from LAX to San Jose, the plane departed 20 minutes ahead of schedule. It seemed like all passengers were on board, and the aircraft was ready for takeoff.

Verified travelerFlew with Austrian Airlines-Aug 2024

SBP is a lovely low stress airport for starting a trip! Have someone drop you off as parking is expensive.

IreneFlew with Southwest-Jun 2024

Arrive a least 1 hour before boarding if you’re checking bags. Light layers due weather variation

JohnjimyFlew with ANA-Aug 2024

Layover from NRT(JPN), to SFO (US), to LAX(US) Easy if you are a United States Citizen, when you go to US Border & Customs, bring your Passport if you arrive Internationally. Remember to pick up your check baggage before moving into domestic flights, as they will check the tag for the plane you are boarding in. (They will check your baggage again). Bring your ID/DL (Real-ID COMPLIANT) with you to pass security/TSA, passport works too. SFO is pretty strict as well as LAX.

FatimaFlew with Frontier-Jun 2024

Frontier requires 3hr preflight check in even on domestic flights

Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jul 2024

Understand that you were going to land in the middle of the airport somewhere way far away from the terminal then you walk down a ramp then you walk to a terminal you get on a bus what you have to wait in the line for the bus to come and get you the bus goes very slowly to the terminal you get out and then you walk 2700 steps I walked to get to where I was supposed to go And then find it because I didn’t have a boarding pass was not easy so don’t try to go there and make a quick connection you can’t do it

JulieFlew with Southwest-Jun 2024

Avoid flying into LAX. It’s a nightmare. Baggage claim took 40 minutes. And then the shuttle to the car rental place took an hour because there are two shuttles. The first is a local bus that makes a stop at every seven terminals and then it takes you to another place where you have to wait for your smaller shuttle to the car rental place.
