Use current airline terminal locations
SAN publishes airline-specific Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 locations. Verify both operating flights because terminal assignments can change.
Decision value
Use evidence before action
Treat a terminal change as a risk factor
A different terminal can add walking, landside movement and another checkpoint. Map the current route before accepting the schedule.
Account for the evolving terminal layout
SAN opened the first phase of a new Terminal 1 in 2025. Current airport maps—not older memory—must control the plan.

FAQ
Scope questions
Can I use an older SAN terminal map?
No. The terminal layout has changed; use SAN's current map and airline directory for the travel date.
Does this page know live construction or checkpoint conditions?
No. Those remain UNKNOWN until verified through current official sources.
Does one-terminal routing guarantee the connection?
No. Deplaning, boarding cutoff, baggage, security, delays and personal movement still matter.
