San Diego International Airport

Known by most locals as Lindbergh Field, this airport accommodates private planes, commuter airlines and most major national and international carriers. Located in the heart of the city, adjacent to the Bay and just three miles from the downtown city center, the airport provides spectacular panoramic views of the city upon arrival and take off. Because of the proximity to homes and businesses, this airport holds restricted hours. All arrivals and departures occur between 6:30am-11pm.

A renovation completed in 1998 included a much-needed 300,000 square foot expansion of the airfield. During that remodel, a second terminal was added to assist in increased traffic. While planning the expansion, designers also added a "walk-over" bridge to cut down on bottlenecks at the curbs. Visitors seeking hotel shuttles and taxis need to be advised that no public transportation stops in front of the terminals curbside. You must cross over the "sky bridge" to meet these conveniences.
