Arriving at San Diego (SAN) FAQs
Arriving in a 'Cheapest Economy (ECONOMY)' fare generally refers to the most basic economy class with limited flexibility—often the lowest-priced ticket with restrictions on changes, refunds, and baggage. Expect tighter carry-on allowances on some low-cost fares and check the airline's specific basic economy rules before booking to avoid surprise fees.
Budget economy arrivals commonly connect travelers to major cities and destinations like New York City, Orlando, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Miami depending on routing and carrier networks. Even if not adjacent, these hubs are frequent endpoints for cheap economy itineraries and often offer onward connections.
Yes—December arrivals labeled 'Cheapest Economy (ECONOMY)' often face higher demand (holidays) so expect earlier sell-outs and stricter baggage enforcement; April arrivals may benefit from shoulder-season savings and fewer crowds. For December, book early and verify baggage rules; for April, use flexible-date searches to maximize savings.
Upgrades from the cheapest economy fare are possible but typically limited and may require paying the fare difference plus change fees; some airlines allow paid upgrades or bids for upgrades closer to departure. Check the carrier's upgrade policy and loyalty program benefits to see if paid upgrade options or last-minute offers are available.
Plan at least 90–120 minutes for domestic connections and more for international arrivals, especially if you need to collect checked bags or clear customs. Budget economy tickets may not include protected connections on separate itineraries, so allow extra time and consider travel insurance or booking through the same carrier to reduce risk.
Use fare comparison tools (Google Flights, Kayak) and fare-alert services to find the lowest economy arrivals labeled as 'Cheapest Economy (ECONOMY)'. Monitor sales from low-cost carriers, search flexible dates, and check nearby airports and major hubs like New York City or Orlando for better deals.
