Flight

San diego International airport

San Diego International Airport (SAN) is the main airport in San Diego and is about a 35-40 minute drive from Hotel Solea and The Old Rancho Wedding Estate without any traffic. We recommend flying into SAN and then taking an Uber/Lyft or snagging a rental car from there. If you’re hoping to explore all San Diego has to offer, please be aware that you will likely need to drive to most activities.
