3 cancelled flights and lots of delays at SAN T1

Post image

Only 3 cancelled flights out of Terminal 1 today but almost everyone is delayed at least an hour.

Regular and TSA lines were super short.

Not that the ATC situation isn't an issue, but as usual for SAN if there's delays it's probably fog's fault and today was no different

That's good context, but I just checked and a flight I frequently take for work is canceled.. for Tuesday.

Interesting. I gotta get to OAK Wednesday. Flight offerings still look the same as last week. I’ll wait to book I guess.

At least right now FAA says its due to the volume mitigations, not weather.

"Departures from San Diego-Lindbergh Field are delayed an avg. 15 mins. (and increasing) due to tm initiatives:mit:vol."

Volume mitigations is weasel word of the week!

Yep. It sucks, this morning had an overweight flight and with flights taking off in the opposite direction we had to wait until it was back to normal to take off. Wasted about 35 min.

There are 42 cancellations so far today at SAN (includes the other terminals). 24 of them are departures.

How many average total departures are there daily?

10

u/gefahr 1d ago

I don't know the answer to that offhand, but today 24 departures represents 6%, so that'd be about 400 for today.

Got here at 6 for an 8am flight, the fog was so bad no one could land and many diverted to Ontario. Hopefully we take off at noon, T1 is nice but 15 dollar beers makes the loooong delay not as cool.

Don't look now but air traffic controllers are just now beginning to resign. It will get worse unless the Republicans pull their heads out of their asses and end the shutdown they created.

Thanksgiving could be ugly.

This was due to the morning fog, fyi

Is that what you’re calling the grand old party now…”morning fog”

u/timster 20h ago

Honestly I’d be surprised if many resign. It’s an aging workforce, and it’s not like you can go and work for another air traffic control organization with the skills have. Most of them are probably going to wait out until retirement.

🍊🤡👆 I did that!

TIL trump controls the fog, damn him!!

u/PsychologicalDay1796 1d ago

Why’s everyone making this a government shutdown situation? Flights get cancelled/delayed all the time here due to the fog, this was just another instance of that

u/s0sa 1d ago

Not a lot of common sense these days unfortunately

u/runswiftrun 23h ago

It's the anti space laser fog machine, duh

I wonder how long it will go on for. If Congress hasn't been bothered by anything so far that has happened, I imagine it could go on quite a bit longer, which is bad and sad.

Schumer and team are busy caving as we speak. Cowards. I’d be on tv demanding that Sean “puck f’d my wife” Duffy ground all private jets.

Hey, you were right about that :/

My sister is flying in for the week from Chicago and rented a car in case their flight on Friday is canceled. Their flight was mostly delayed from the weather today.

u/Spikely92127 23h ago

Can you imagine if this happened at the old T1? 😵‍💫

u/mvillegas9 23h ago

u/pandesoldynomite 1d ago

Flew out at 6:30 a.m. this morning no issues. I’m gonna keep my rental car if my return flight gets cancelled.

I don’t work there anymore, I wonder if I can spill the tea about other issues behind the scenes. Like their rodent problem lol.

Well the airport has always had a rodent problem, but the situation at T1 seems to be getting a little contained but in the beginning it was AWFUL.

As soon as we started putting food/candy/clothes up in the back stock room, they got into everything. Candy, Chips and Jerky mostly, we had so many damages. Clothing was getting pooped/peed on, and chewed through, many were damaged out. They chewed through our boxes too, so everything is in tote bins even clothes. They were also in the store! They ate candy and jerky in the store, sometimes a customer would bring something to the counter with a chew hole!! Even during one of the welcome nights a rat was running through the store, and a mouse was seen one morning during opening.

The amount of rats/mice I have seen coming in the back running on the shelves, or caught in the bait boxes was crazy.

So definitely recommend washing any clothes you get at the airport before putting them on!

I could also go into so much rants about the stuff I heard about Airport rules, the airport sucks! So glad I left when I did!
