San Diego International Airport

When you're looking to make a reservation for a flight out of the area, ebookers can help you find some of the best prices on seats available. The airport is conveniently located about three miles from the city's central business district on North Harbor Drive in San Diego, California.

Parking at San Diego International Airport
Several long-term parking options are available for customers of the airport. Three long-term parks provide vehicle spaces that include a Harbor Drive lot, an NTC lot on McCain Road, and a Pacific Highway Park. The prices for twenty-four-hour parking are $18 a day for both the Harbor Drive and NTC lots and $11 a day for the Pacific Highway lot. All three lots offer free shuttle bus service to the terminals from the lots.
Transportation to the Airport
Getting to the airport from the downtown area is easy thanks to its close proximity. The Metropolitan Transit System provides bus service for only $2.25, which takes about twenty minutes to make the trip. For convenience, taxi service is available as well, costing approximately $8.50 for the ten-minute trip from the business district.
A Meal before Leaving
Before leaving the airport on your flight, you may wish to have a meal at one of the many available restaurants. A wide variety of eateries are available both in the pre-security area and the main terminal areas. In the former, you'll find the San Diego Bar and Grill offering light meals and Starbucks offering coffee and snacks. In Terminal 1, a much wider range of food options is available, from Pizza UNO to the Artisan Café. Terminal 2 also offers a few more food options, including a California Pizza Kitchen, a Deli, and the Home Turf Bar to fill your food cravings before leaving San Diego.
Fly to San Francisco
Visitors to the Californian city of San Francisco will find plenty to keep them occupied during their stay. San Francisco has more than its fair share of world famous tourist attractions, meaning that it is a popular destination for travellers from across the globe.
Flights to San Francisco International Airport mean easy access to the city centre which is located around 13 miles north of the airport, and you can travel from there to downtown San Francisco using the bus and train links. Car hire is also available from a selection of providers in the terminal buildings. Taxis and van shares are other options.
San Francisco has some truly iconic landmarks. One of the most well known is Golden Gate Bridge. The huge structure stretches across the water and is at its most majestic when the area is covered with fog, which frequently happens in the summer months. Alcatraz is another must-see tourist attraction that can be accessed either by ferry or helicopter. A ride on one of the famous cable cars is also essential for visitors, who can explore the city using the historic transport network.
