The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority is introducing SAN Pass, a new program that allows local residents to experience everything San Diego International Airport (SAN) offers in post-security areas without needing a boarding pass or ticket. Visitors can apply for a free pass up to seven days in advance. A limited number of passes are available daily and issued on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to TSA approval.
“If you’ve ever wanted to see off family or friends at their gate or enjoy the outstanding dining and retail options in Terminal 1 and 2 without flying, this program offers that opportunity,” said Kimberly Becker, president and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. “We’re excited to open the terminal experience to the broader San Diego community in a secure and convenient way.”
To apply, visitors provide their full legal name, date of birth, and gender (as listed on a TSA-approved photo ID). If approved, visitors access the secure area through the general screening line using their ID and the digital SAN Pass.
