San Diego International Airport, commonly known as Lindbergh Field, handles more than 15 million passengers per year. The Lindbergh connection comes from the trans-Atlantic pilot Charles Lindbergh, represented on the south wall of the airport’s Commuter Terminal in a mural entitled “Lucky/Spirit”. His monoplane, The Spirit of St. Louis, was built at San Diego’s Ryan Aeronautical Corporation. And Lindbergh flew a test flight in 1927 from San Diego to New York, leaving from New York later that same month for his famous nonstop flight to Paris.
Located off Interstate 5, San Diego International Airport is situated just north of downtown San Diego on Harbor Drive. Today, San Diego International Airport is the nation’s busiest single-runway commercial airport, and serves as a city-centric, sparkling gateway to America’s Finest City.

Public Transportation from Airport
San Diego’s Trolley and Coaster commuter rail services do not stop at the airport, nor does Amtrak. The closest rail stop is downtown’s Santa Fe Depot, just south of the airport, a 5- to 10- minute cab ride away. If you’re game for a city bus ride, The Flyer, MTA public bus (No. 992) connects the airport with downtown San Diego, the San Diego Trolley, Coaster and Amtrak.
