The Bad

Pro Tips
- Come early in the morning for the freshest food spread. The pastries and yogurt are out by 6:00 AM and disappear by mid-morning.
- If this lounge is at capacity (common midday), the staff will add you to a short waitlist. Typical waits are 10 to 15 minutes.
- The Stone Brewing IPA on tap is complimentary and a better choice than the bottled options. San Diego is a craft beer paradise and this lounge reflects it.
- Grab a window seat for views of planes and the Pacific coast beyond the runway. San Diego's location makes for scenic plane spotting.
