| How To Get To San Diego By Plane |
Choosing Your Winged Chariot: A Non-Technical Manual
First things first, you need a plane. Don't worry, they're not endangered (yet), and there are a ton of options. Budget airlines will get you there for the price of a slightly used shoe, while fancy airlines will serve you gourmet meals that would make your grandma jealous. Pick the one that matches your vibe (and wallet). Pro tip: If you're feeling social, snag a window seat and chat up your neighbor about their vacation plans. Unless they're wearing a full scuba suit, they're probably headed to San Diego too!
Packing Like a Pro: The Art of the Carry-On
Next up, packing! San Diego is all about sunshine and flip-flops, so ditch the snow boots. Think light, breezy clothes, and a swimsuit that won't make the mermaids weep. Here's the golden rule of flying: Carry on whenever possible. Baggage claim is the Bermuda Triangle of luggage - things go in, but they don't always come out. Plus, who wants to wait around for a suitcase that's probably hanging out in Tahiti?
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Super Important Packing Tip: Pack a refillable water bottle. Airplanes are dehydrating, and those tiny cups of water from the flight attendant just won't cut it. Stay hydrated, my friend, or you'll be arriving in San Diego looking like a prune.
Conquering the Airport: A Pre-Flight Pep Talk
Airports can be a jungle, but fear not! Here's your survival guide:
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
- Get there early: Security lines can be longer than a Kardashian selfie caption.
- Download your boarding pass: No need to print a rain forest's worth of paper.
- Be nice to the TSA agents: They have the power to confiscate your questionable airplane snacks (looking at you, week-old tuna sandwich).
Bonus Tip: Pack some hand sanitizer. Airplanes are like flying petri dishes. Keep those germs at bay!
Congratulations! You've made it through the airport. Now, just board the plane, pop in your earbuds, and get ready to mentally prepare yourself for drool-worthy pictures of San Diego beaches flooding your Instagram feed.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.

What to do if I get bored on the plane? Download some movies or shows beforehand, bring a good book, or strike up a conversation with your seatmate (just avoid the guy in the tinfoil hat).
