SAN DIEGO — Security wait times at San Diego International Airport have eased after chaotic scenes earlier this week, but travelers should still plan for variability as staffing shortages linked to the ongoing partial federal government shutdown continue to affect operations.
The airport issued a travel advisory urging passengers to arrive at least 2.5 hours before domestic flight departures to account for possible longer checkpoint waits. Officials noted that checkpoint times and flight schedules depend on federal partners, including the Transportation Security Administration, amid the shutdown.
