I almost always take Southwest but I flew home from Eugene into terminal 2 in late September - - first time I had been there since the renovations. I joked that I would go to terminal 2 without having a flight just in order to hang out.

San Diego Airport has gotten a lot better, at least Terminal 2 since they expanded it. I remember when the line for security used to be out the door and all the way across the foot bridge.

Not sure if I'd go to the airport just to hang out but there have been a couple of times when I flew back to SD on a Friday evening and stopped at Stone for a beer before requesting my Uber ride.

You gotta love the convenience factor to downtown/central San Diego. A quick and cheap 10 minute Uber ride from the house, blaze through security (it seems we get TSA pre✔️ automatically half the time) 20 or so minutes at the pleasant terminal and you're off to Kauai (or wherever your destination is).

Even better coming home after a trip when you just have to walk a hundred yards or so to get to Uber/ride share area and back home in those same 10 minutes- AHHHH!

I worked for an architecture firm that did some of the T.I. on the Terminal 2 expansion. It was pretty cool seeing the very high design standards for the airport.

I've visited San Diego twice and really like the airport too. Security is among the quickest of any airport I've ever been at. Love the seating by the Delta gates at the end of Terminal 2. Nevermind Uber, even the 992 bus is pretty convenient as well. I travel with just one carry-on and one small checked bag so it's not much of a hassle.

Remember when not that long ago the airport was deemed useless and nothing but a new one at the miramar location would do. Think charger stadium

Just flew out last week and made it from my garage in Mission Valley to the GATE of my flight in 36 minutes!

That includes parking and taking the shuttle from Pacific Highway lot! I will say, TSA PreCheck helps a ton too.

This ^^

San Diego never needed a 2nd airport, I always thought this was a dumb idea.

It would be nice to have a taller skyline, but this is one of the deltas with having such a convenient central airport.

San Diego International Airport is the nation's busiest single runway airport. I have yet to see the upgraded Terminal 2 since I generally fly Southwest into and out of SAN.
