Traveller Comments....

"I missed a plane there because I got too drunk in the bar (good place but a bit pricey)." - TripSix

Recent Review

by Barkley
I arrived at San Diego around midnight after a missed connection in Philadelphia (coming from a European flight) and a longish runway delay. Of course, I wasn't a happy camper but decided to stay in the airport until my 5:30 AM flight. Security told me that I had to leave the the secured area, but suggested I go to the southwest airlines terminal and sleep in the starbucks area. There were about 10 other people already in there, but there are tons of cushy seats. The security guy walked me down there and wished me good luck on my travels. I fell asleep almost immediately and woke up refreshed for my flight. There are some loud announcements, but that didn't bother me.
