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.

The San Diego Flyer is a Hassle-free, Green Connection to SAN  

Ground Transportation

The MTS 992 bus has always been a great option for getting to and from San Diego International Airport. Are you aware that there is now another public transport option? It’s a free shuttle called the San Diego Flyer. The all-electric shuttle service runs between Old Town Transit Center and SAN  every 20-30 minutes, seven days a week, from 4:45 a.m. – 12:30 a.m. Please note that there is no overnight parking at the Old Town Transit Center.
