Busy place, long distances and some misleading gate/exit info. Make sure you pay attention or you’ll end up exiting airport in a flinch. Not many chain places to eat.
When flying internationally out of SAN it is best to arrive at least three hours prior to scheduled departure time due to the lack of knowledge of some station agents on passport protocol
Difficult to distinguish entry points for precheck & non-precheck. I often see folks turned away at the security podium b/c they were in the wrong line.
If you are stuck for the day there are two sky clubs, Delta and American. Both are $50 a day but go with Delta. Longer hours, friendly service, and 50% if you have certain Amex Cards.
get here well before your hour...security line is one of the longest I've ever experienced! we were 1.25 hrs early and I'm sure this will take forever. ridiculous!
Security will let you through to any gate terminal. Make sure you check overhead signs declaring what gates are past your checkpoint! Security lines can be crazy long.
