TRAVEL ADVISORY: Anticipate Possible Longer Wait Times at Airport Checkpoints. Travelers Encouraged to Arrive Early at SAN - at least Two 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 two 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.
