San Diego International Airport TSA Wait Time Improve After Long Lines at San Diego Airport

San Diego International Airport has seen improvements in TSA wait times after experiencing long lines earlier in the week. Travelers are still advised to arrive at least 2.5 hours before domestic flight departures to account for possible longer checkpoint waits due to staffing shortages caused by the partial federal government shutdown.
San Diego International Airport has eased security wait times after chaotic scenes earlier in the week. The airport advises passengers to arrive at least 2.5 hours before domestic flight departures. On Monday, lines at Terminal 1 stretched outside, with waits of up to 90 minutes. By Tuesday, conditions improved, with a reporter timing a mid-morning passage through Terminal 1 security at about 23 minutes. Terminal 2 also saw shorter lines.

Travelers should check specific gate areas upon arrival and consider arriving early to minimize delays.
