Traveling during the holiday season can be hectic, so to help air travelers navigate safely to their Thanksgiving getaway or vacation this year, the Airport Authority has
some important information for those using San Diego International Airport (SDIA).
Thanksgiving travel tips from San Diego International Airport Arrive at least 1½ hours before departure for domestic flights and 2 ½ hours for international flights.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website provides helpful tips on how to reduce wait times at security checkpoints, such as how to pack and what items are permitted and prohibited. These tips are available at www.tsa.gov.
Dual Level-Roadway
The new dual-level roadway, completed as part of The Green Build expansion, eases curb-front congestion by separating arriving and departing passengers in Terminal 2. With 32 airline counters and 20 easy-to-use curbside kiosks, departing passengers can check-in, print their boarding pass and check luggage before even entering the terminal.
Think Security
TSA Pre✓™ at San Diego International Airport. TSA Pre ✓™ offers expedited screening for eligible participants. TSA Pre✓™ lanes are available for passengers traveling through SDIA on the following airlines:
– Terminal 1 – Alaska Airlines, Southwest
– Terminal 2 – Hawaiian, American, Delta, United, Virgin America, Alaska Airlines and US Airways
Active duty military are also eligible for TSA Pre ✓™. For more information on TSA Pre ✓™,
please visit the TSA website.
Follow 3-1-1 for liquids in carry-ons:
– 3-ounce bottles or less for all liquids, gels and aerosols placed in
– 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag
– 1 bag per passenger, placed separately in a security bin for X-ray screening
The liquid restriction applies only to carry-on bags. Passengers can pack larger quantities of liquids and gels in checked baggage.
Shops and Restaurants
The Airport Authority is increasing its shopping and dining options from 55 to 87 as part of its Concession Development Program. Opening in phases, the program will be completed in 2014. New offerings include favorite local, national and international concepts such as Phil’s BBQ, Stone Brewing Co., Tender Greens, Einstein Bros. Bagels and many more. Before arriving at the airport, please take look at the list of current operational shopping and dining options by visiting ‘At the Airport’ at www.san.org.
Passenger Numbers
As many as 60,000 passengers a day are expected to pass through the airport during the
Thanksgiving holiday travel period. Typically, the airport serves 40,000 to 50,000 passengers a day.
The airport is deploying extra staff to help passengers through lines and the security process.
Holiday Entertainment
With Thanksgiving kicking off the holiday performing arts season, passengers can enjoy the joyous sounds of live music as they travel through the terminals at San Diego International Airport.
On Wednesday, November 27 passengers will be treated to performances by:
Holiday Trombone Quartet, brass performance from 6 – 8 a.m. in Terminal 2 West
Full Measure Carolers, vocal performance from 6 – 8 a.m. in Terminal 2 East

Parking
Valet Parking. The valet service was created to aid travelers in situations where time,
convenience and parking availability are a concern. When coming to the airport, drive into the designated valet areas in front of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. When coming back to San Diego, pick up luggage first on the way to the valet cashier. The cost is $36 per 24-hour period. Take the receipt to curbside valet and your vehicle will be brought to you, or text (619) 888-6675 with your information once you’ve landed.
Short- and Long-Term Parking. The parking options available at SDIA include color-coded short-and long-term SAN Park lots:
Green is for SDIA Long-Term Lot (formerly SAN Park Harbor Drive), located east of the airport Blue is for SDIA Economy Lot (formerly SAN Park Pacific Hwy), located north of the airfield Free shuttle buses from long-term lots to all airport terminals are also color-coded and sport scenes of popular San Diego County destinations.
Cell Phone Lot. Located east of the Commuter Terminal on Harbor Drive, accessible via a traffic light at Rent-a-Car Access Road. Motorists can wait in this parking lot for up to 60 minutes free of charge. Once cell phone contact is made between the driver and incoming passenger, the motorist can drive over to the terminal for quick, convenient traveler pick-up.
Disabled Parking. Parking for travelers with disabilities is available at all airport lots.
