TRAVEL ADVISORY: Anticipate Possible Longer Wait Times at Airport Checkpoints. Travelers Encouraged to Arrive Early at SAN - at least 2.5 hours Before Flight Departures.
Passengers traveling out of San Diego International Airport are encouraged to check their flight status before coming to SAN and plan to arrive at least 2.5 hours before their flight. Checkpoint wait times and flight scheduling are subject to the operations of our federal and airline partners. These operations are, at times, affected by the federal government shutdown. We appreciate the ongoing commitment from TSA, FAA and our partner airlines to maintain the safety and reliability of the national transportation system during this challenging time. Our focus remains on ensuring a safe and efficient airport experience.
While visiting San Diego International Airport, as you make your way to your gate, consider which concession to enjoy, or collect your luggage, take time to notice the arts around you. Whether they be visual or performance-based, the arts at SAN were conceived with you in mind. Arrive early, visit often, and be inspired.
The Public Art Program
The Public Art Program is charged with developing a broad collection of permanent artwork that supports and enhances the mission of the Airport Authority. Artworks in the Public Art Collection range from dramatic gestures to more subtle interventions. Each work is thoughtfully integrated into the airport environment, with artists involved from the initial planning and design phase of each major development project.
