Flights from San Diego: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew from San Diego to anywhere 
MaryFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
If any one has a hard time walking long distances automatically ask for wheelchair assistance the person helps guide you to your gate and there is a lot of walking
CupcakeFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
Please bring a water bottle for hydration during the flight.
MichelleFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2026
Not to sit next to the bathroom because people are always using it and the smell is bad at times.
DianaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Dec 2025
Don't go late in the day - delays accumulate and threaten if connections need to be made.
JamesFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jan 2026
Travel with a carry on only because on my flight I observed a family of (7, 5 kids and both parents) load up the overhead luggage compartments with (7) carry on suitcases, in addition to (4) back packs, which was allowed by the airline and I'm certain paid zero extra dollars as I did for three large suitcases at $35 a piece. Sane your money and do the same thing that family did.
CarlosFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2025
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.
MaryFlew with Delta-Jun 2025
San Diego is great airport at terminal 2. Not so great for Uber pick up past terminal 1 diversion When busy.
MathewFlew with Delta-Jun 2025
Make sure to pack 2-3 days of clothing in a carryon.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2025
When you are told to sit and fasten your seat belt doesn’t mean you can get up and use the bathroom. So, please for the love of god, use the bathroom prior to boarding :)
AmyFlew with Spirit Airlines-Dec 2024
Make sure you download your movies in advance and try not to bring more luggage than you need. And keep in mind that the gate at San Diego airport is terribly small.
RodFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2024
Yes! Don’t reserve a flight with less than 1 1/2 hour connection time or you have a good possibility of missing your connection.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2024
Arrive early to the airport for check-in and security and enjoy the flight.
VyomaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2024
Be sure to read the signs, i have heard it's confusing for connecting flights if you don't follow the directions.
AbirFlew with Air Canada-May 2024
Boarding was in time, everything was well organized and clearly follows set policies, although carry-on sizing is not appealing, offering free check to allow for more cabinet space is good. Immigration process was smooth, overall a good experience and it recommended.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Mar 2024
If veteran or active duty, make sure to stop by USO in terminal 2 (SD airport); right next door to Alaska departures.
crd041678Flew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2024
Arrive early. May want to pay for the upgrade to a better seat. Early boarding is best.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
I suggest packing a big snack bag and a large water bottle in case there are any issues with the flight causing a delay. When there are delays, no food is served, so you are stuck in a chair hungry and thirsty.
BryanFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
Airlines are becoming much stricter in limiting people to one carry-on bag and one personal item.
BlancaFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
Don't forget your headsets and there is no screens so make sure you bring one from entertainment!
MichaelFlew with Southwest-Jan 2024
Lots of construction at Terminal 1 at Lindbergh Field. Give yourself extra time.
