    Love Alaska Air, but their terminal here isn't my fave. Super small, not much to do while you wait for your flight.

    Ok people...you're limited to one (1) carry-on and one (1) personal item. And once on the plane put your coat under your seat. Leave the overhead bins for other passengers' bags.

    The food courts are closed due to endless construction. If you pass a food stop you like, take it.

    If you're flying Southwest or Frontier don't plan on finding a place to drink post security.

    BUY THE EXPRESS TICKETS! They cost a little more.. but it helps! You get to go through the FAST security lane..It saved me a lot of time!

    To all the d-bags that seem to think you have to practically stand on the baggage claim belt - its ok to stand behind the black line and NOT stand right in front of a person waiting on their bag.

    Come on, SAN. What's up in Terminal 1 with no seating at the gates? Remodel is called for!

    You can do mobile checking here! Check in at home and just use your smart phone as your boarding pass!

    Not much to it, but easy to get around and fairly quick and painless with TSA-Pre.

    Pretty and clean but bags always take forever to arrive. They also often tell you the wrong carousel number.

    Check in for Continental at United (for domestic flights at least; I'm not sure about international). Yeah, that's confusing.

    For being such a big city...this airport sure is small. Maybe its just Terminal 1. And the food choices are VERY limited, unless you like sandwiches. Seems thats what Terminal 1 only carries.

    If flying Southwest, get your boarding pass first, then get in the Express Bag Drop-off line. Both those lines are short.

    If you are flying out of gates 1 or 2, it's a separate security check (even if you're just connecting). Very limited food selection in gate areas. Needs a serious update to facilities.

    Check your bags so the rest of us don't have to watch you trying to squeeze it in the overhead bin with all the others!

    The southwest gates only have the sandwich and salad shops right now. No warm food.

    The free airport Wi-Fi is limited to 30 minutes through Boingo. That's not a compliment.

    This airport was built by the Germans in 1904 as evidenced by the name. Unfortunately, scholars maintain that any other information was lost hundreds of years ago.
