Panduan Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa San Diego: Penerbangan, Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Kelewatan, Berita, dan Lapangan Terbang Berhampiran

Lapangan Terbang Komersial Paling Sibuk Dengan Satu Landasan di Amerika Syarikat

Ya, San Diego International Airport (SAN) mempunyai satu landasan sepanjang 9,401 kaki yang mengendalikan antara 500–600 penerbangan setiap hari, bergantung pada musim. Dengan dua terminal, 51 pintu pesawat, dan 16 syarikat penerbangan yang memberikan perkhidmatan, SAN menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik dan merupakan lapangan terbang komersial paling mudah diakses di California Selatan. Pada masa ini, SAN menawarkan penerbangan tanpa henti ke 87 destinasi, menyediakan lebih daripada 24 juta pengembara setiap tahun dengan alternatif yang hebat kepada Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) yang hanya 124 batu jauhnya jika memandu. Walau bagaimanapun, tempoh pemanduan dari San Diego ke LAX boleh mengambil masa serendah dua hingga sehingga lima jam bergantung kepada tahap kesesakan lalu lintas di I-5. Sepanjang laluan, Lebuhraya San Diego (I-5) juga melalui John Wayne Orange County Airport (SNA), satu lagi lapangan terbang alternatif yang baik, tetapi tidak banyak penerbangan, pengangkut, atau destinasi tersedia dari SNA.

Tanpa ragu, San Diego International adalah lapangan terbang kegemaran kami yang dilayani oleh syarikat penerbangan di SoCal, terutamanya jika Daerah San Diego atau komuniti sekitarnya adalah destinasi atau titik permulaan anda. Bagi pengembara yang merancang untuk tinggal berhampiran lapangan terbang atau pusat bandar, pemanduan dari lapangan terbang ke pusat bandar sangat singkat — hanya dua setengah batu. Satu-satunya bandar besar Amerika lain yang hampir mencapai tahap kemudahan geografi seperti ini ialah Boston, tetapi jika anda pernah cuba memandu antara Logan International Airport (BOS) dan pusat bandar, anda pasti sedar tentang kesesakan lalu lintas besar yang sering berlaku di sana. Tiada perkara sedemikian di San Diego antara lapangan terbang dan pusat bandar (walaupun terdapat banyak trafik di bahagian lain dalam rantau ini), di mana pemindahan antara mana-mana terminal ke hotel berdekatan anda kemungkinan besar hanya mengambil masa beberapa minit.

Fakta Menarik Mengenai Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Charles Lindbergh San Diego

Untuk membangunkan tanah di mana lapangan terbang kini terletak, Sungai San Diego telah dialihkan supaya ia berakhir di Lautan Pasifik dan bukannya Mission Bay.

Ryan Aeronautical Company, pembina pesawat "Spirit of St. Louis" Lindbergh, terletak berhampiran lokasi lapangan terbang.

Nama lapangan terbang ini menghormati Charles Lindbergh yang menerbangkan penerbangan transatlantik pertama dari Roosevelt Field di Long Island ke Le Bourget Field di Paris pada Mei 1927. Penerbangan bersejarah itu mengambil masa 33.5 jam dan tiba pada pukul 10:22 malam disambut sorakan kira-kira 150,000 penduduk Paris. Lapangan terbang dibuka pada 16 Ogos 1928.

Pesawat tentera telah dihasilkan oleh Consolidated Aircraft di lapangan itu semasa Perang Dunia II. Sebahagian daripada bekas kilang itu kini menjadi tempat fasiliti penyewaan kereta lapangan terbang.

Penerbangan jet pertama dari SAN berlepas pada September 1960, dengan perkhidmatan American Airlines ke Phoenix dan United Airlines ke San Francisco. Perkhidmatan jet ke Chicago dan New York bermula pada tahun 1962 dan 1967 masing-masing.

Lapangan terbang kini mempunyai 19 pintu di satu konkors Terminal 1, dengan rancangan untuk menambah lagi 11 pintu menjelang 2028. Terminal 2 mempunyai 31 pintu di dua konkors, serta kemudahan ketibaan antarabangsa. Sesetengah penerbangan antarabangsa tiba di Terminal 1 selepas melepasi Kastam dan Imigresen AS di tempat asal mereka.

Tidak seperti biasa bagi lapangan terbang AS, Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa San Diego menggunakan peraturan waktu larangan terbang bagi operasi pesawat komersial antara 11:30 malam dan 6:30 pagi untuk mengurangkan aduan bunyi daripada penduduk kawasan sekitarnya.

MTS route 992 also connects at the City College Station with the Blue and Orange lines of trolley system, plus Rapid Bus Service.

Free-of-charge buses that operate between the airport and the Old Town Transit Center are known as the San Diego Flyer shuttle. The all-electric transportation line operates every 20-30 minutes with convenient timed connections for the trolley system, Coasters, Amtrak, and other MTS buses. If you are headed to the trolley upon arrival, take the rental car shuttle and advise the driver that you would like to exit the bus for the trolley’s Middletown Station. From the bus drop-off there is a two block walk to the trolley. If you are returning to the airport when departing San Diego, walk from the trolley to the same bus stop where the driver will stop and take you to either terminal.

The shuttle runs every 5-10 minutes depending on the time of day. All major companies have counters here as well as Fox, Payless, Sixt, and zipcar.

The Best Areas To Stay in San Diego

If you’ve been getting the lay of the land while planning your trip to San Diego, you know that the area is pretty spread out, though thankfully it’s far smaller than Los Angeles and Orange counties to the north. Still, tourist hot spots such as La Jolla, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and LEGOLAND is Carlsbad are a fair distance from the city’s core. What kind of vacation you prefer will help determine the best area for you to book accommodations. You may be more of a beach person where Pacific Beach, Coronado, Del Mar, or La Jolla will be more to your liking. And if you’re looking for a city escape, staying downtown within walking distance of Balboa Park, Little Italy, Petco Park, the Embarcadero, and the Gaslamp Quarter may be your best option.
