San Diego International
🇺🇸 San Diego · KSAN
One of America's busiest single-runway airports with Southwest, Alaska, and United competing for slots. Pilots fly the dramatic Runway 27 approach threading between downtown skyscrapers and Balboa Park—an unforgettable sight for passengers. Short runway length (9,400 ft) limits heavy aircraft operations, and the Parking Garage visual approach is a crew favorite.
