San Diego Airport

As I am at SAN about twice a year I can tell that SAN is a wonderful airport. It's not too big and you have all the shops and restaurants you have at all bibber airports. It has in my opinion the world's nicest approach as you fly almost through Downtown. By the way there are some international flights to Mexico Canada and London.

Unpleasant airport too crowded and poorly marked/signed nowhere near enough seating areas at gates poor food choices etc. It's great that Lindbergh is so close to downtown it makes it very convenient except that getting to the off-site rental car location also took forever somehow. I think what really did kill it was just that it was incredibly crowded and it made the airport feel hot and unpleasant. I think they'll build another airport in SAN sometime sooner or later there have been numerous discussions about it and I think that since they are basically out of land at Lindbergh they'll find a way to build an airport out in the hot desert a challenge because they have to avoid rather significant mountains.

San Diego Lindbergh Field is a trip to land at. The runway is not long enough for intercontinental Jumbo jets. On approach (always from the east) the plane flies right next to downtown. Sit on the left if you want to see the workers in the office buildings up close! Just before landing you fly over some houses that are way close to the beginning of the runway. The terminal itself is completely outdated but the location is so convenient to the city that you never have to spend much time there. I don't think there are any international flights from San Diego except to Mexico.
