Any experiences? Is 1.5 or 2 hours (for example) enough at SD?
Any time *I* have been through either CLD or SAN, 90 minutes
has been quite
sufficient, and 60 minutes is usually enough for domestic
travellers. If I
were checking in at LAX for an international departure,
however, there is
no way I would arrive a minute less than two hours in advance.
Note that if you are a frequent flier on United or American
and are not
checking baggage, you can check in on-line up to 24 hours
prior to actually
boarding. You have to be a mileage club member and have
access to a printer
(found in the terminal room, or you can FAX it to yourself
via the hotel if
you have FAX software on your laptop) to print the boarding
pass. With
that, the only line is the TSA line.
The following are from United.

We know that leaving on time is important to you.
To facilitate an on-time departure, we recommend that you
allow ample time
for check-in, especially if you are checking baggage.
For travel within the United States, we recommend that you
arrive at the
airport:
- 60 minutes before your flight if you are not checking any bags
- 90 minutes before your flight if you are checking baggage
For international departures, we recommend that you arrive
at the airport:
2 hours before your flight
In a growing number of U.S. airports, the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) requires that all customers check-in
to receive a
boarding pass before entering the security check-point. The
TSA website
has a list of airports which require customers to obtain
their boarding pass.
Please note that reservations are subject to cancellation
if you are not
checked in and available for boarding at the gate:
- At least 20 minutes prior to departure between U.S.
cities (except
Hawaii - 30 minutes), to/from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
- At least 30 minutes prior to departure for all other
international cities.
At 20 minutes before your flight, we'll begin awarding
upgrades and start
accommodating customers who are waiting for seat assignments.
At 10 minutes before your flight you should be onboard and
ready for an
on-time departure.
For additional information about your airport, including
security line
waits, peak times and days of travel and other important
information, see
Airport check-in information.
When traveling around holidays or other peak travel times,
we recommend
you allow additional time.
There are certain circumstances that will contribute to
delays (i.e.
weather, air traffic, mechanical problems); however, United
is committed
to doing everything possible to ensure on-time departures
on all flights.
