About flying from SAN

San Diego International Airport (SAN) serves 755 routes across 16 airlines. This page covers all nonstop flights departing SAN.

San Diego International Airport operates on a single runway in a geographically constrained urban location yet handles an impressive volume of traffic for San Diego's military, tech, and tourism-driven economy.

Southwest Airlines is the dominant carrier at SAN with a large domestic network. Alaska, United, and American also have significant presences. The airport's proximity to the Mexican border makes it an important gateway for cross-border travel.

Travelers needing destinations not served nonstop from SAN typically connect through LAX or San Francisco. Despite the runway constraint, direct service to most major US cities is available.
