    About TSA Security at San Diego International

    San Diego International has two terminals — Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 — each with its own dedicated TSA checkpoint. TSA PreCheck is offered at both terminals. Terminal 2 is the larger facility and handles higher passenger volumes. The airport's single runway and urban location mean operations can be concentrated in narrow windows — early morning departures tend to have shorter checkpoint waits. Both terminals are compact and easily walkable, with gates visible shortly after clearing security. The Metropolitan Transit System provides the Airport Bus (Route 992) connecting the airport to downtown San Diego.
