Flight

San Diego International Airport

If you are flying into San Diego, you will find that the airport is very close to downtown and any neighborhood close to the venue. Traveling too and from the airport is easy and pretty cheap if you use UBER and LYFT. If you are staying for a longer period of time, we suggest you rent a car from the airport rental car center or rent a car through TURO.com, which is easy and fast and may have the cheapest rates in town.

Travel Note

Driving down

Driving down to San Diego is pretty easy if you are coming from Los Angeles or San Francisco. Just follow the I-5 all the way down south and you will hit San Diego. We do recommend you try to avoid Los Angeles during rush hour (7-10am or 3-7pm) as this will add around 2 hours to your trip!
