SAN Airport Code: San Diego Airport IATA & ICAO

Overview

SAN is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for San Diego International Airport in San Diego, United States (US). The matching ICAO identifier is KSAN. Travel agents see SAN on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example SANLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO KSAN is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is America/Los_Angeles. This code page explains how SAN is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for United States: JFK (New York), EWR (Newark), LGA (New York), LAX (Los Angeles), SFO (San Francisco). Related IATA city code in this dataset: SAN. To turn a booked PNR that contains SAN into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

How to use this page

  1. Confirm the three-letter token on the ticket or PNR is SAN, not a similar code.
  2. Open the PNR parser and paste the full itinerary that contains SAN.
  3. Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
  4. Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for SAN.
  5. Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 SANLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read SAN as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If SAN is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
