Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are the two terminals of San Diego International Airport. As you can see on the map of San Diego Airport, these terminals are adjacent and close enough for travelers to stroll between for connecting flights — just not within the security area.
Terminal 1 is on the airport's eastern side and primarily serves domestic flights from three concourses, each with its own security checkpoint. The terminal currently has 14 gates. A food court and shopping area are available near the west side concourse security checkpoint. And the baggage claim is located between the two larger concourses. There will be a new entrance, and the first phase of the New T1 is scheduled to open in late summer of 2025.
Terminal 2 is located on the airport's western side and houses two concourses for regional and international aircraft. Unlike those in Terminal 1, the concourses of Terminal 2 are interconnected within the protected area, allowing passengers to move around freely to use the amenities. The terminal also has 32 gates, 4 lounges, and 2 security checkpoints, which are positioned conveniently for either the east or west side concourses. Concourses.

SAN has five security checkpoints, three at Terminal 1 and two in Terminal 2. Because Terminal 1's three security checkpoints are located at the entrances to each concourse, connecting passengers to/from these concourses will need to re-clear security upon arriving at the next concourse.
The security checkpoints at Terminal 2 do not limit entry to a specific concourse. Thus, travelers may walk freely between them to use amenities.
TSA PreCheck security lanes are provided at all SAN security checkpoints, with different hours of operation. Timings may be seen on the TSA website. The TSA PreCheck Enrollment Center is located outside of security near the American Airlines offices in Terminal 2.
San Diego Airport is open 24 hours a day; however, since there are no nighttime departures, the gate area is closed each night at 2 am, and all passengers must move to the pre-security side of the airport. Guests are allowed to re-populate once the security checkpoints are opened.
