*Continental Airlines: The 737-800 is the mainstay of Continental's operations at SAN, but spotters may occasionally see the 737-300, 737-700, or 737-900 instead. During peak times of the year, such as during the holidays, a few late night arrivals and early morning departures may be operated by the 757-200. | *Continental Airlines: The 737-800 is the mainstay of Continental's operations at SAN, but spotters may occasionally see the 737-300, 737-700, or 737-900 instead.

*Delta Air Lines: Delta operates a varied fleet in San Diego, most of which may be seen in the old as well as current livery. Spotters may see the 737-300, 737-800, 757-200, 767-200, 767-300, and MD-90 here. Perhaps of greatest interest are the daily 767-200 and MD-90 flights, both of which arrive after dark but which depart at approximately 9:05AM and 9:10AM respectively. Throughout November, the "Spirit of Delta" has been making visits to SAN at least twice a week and spotters have a good chance of catching it during the morning departures. It, along with Delta's remaining 767-200s, is scheduled to be retired in December. | *Delta Air Lines: Delta operates a varied fleet in San Diego, most of which may be seen in the old as well as current livery.

*Frontier Airlines: Frontier operates five daily flights using the A318 and A319. Arrivals are at approximately 8:15AM, 10:05AM, 2:05PM, 7:25PM, and 10:40PM. Departures generally take place forty minutes after arrival, example for the late night flight which leaves at approximately 6:20AM. | |||
*Hawaiian Airlines: One of SAN's highlights is Hawaiian's daily 767-300 departure at approximately 9:05AM to HNL. Unfortunately, the flight arrives well after dark. In the summer season, a second daily 767-300 departs at approximately 10:00AM for OGG. | |||
*JetBlue Airways: JetBlue operates a handful of A320 flights to SAN. For spotters, the daily arrival at 11:10AM and departure at 12:05PM is likely to be most convenient. Most JetBlue activity at SAN takes place after dark. | |||
*Midwest Airlines: A recent arrival at SAN is Midwest Airlines with its new 717-200 service from Kansas City, arriving daily at approximately 11:15AM and departing at approximately 12:05PM. | |||

*Southwest Airlines: Southwest has by far the largest passenger operation at SAN, with several arrivals and departures every hour. Most of these flights are operated by the 737-300 and 737-700, in both new and older liveries. The 737-500 is no longer seen very frequently in SAN. Fortunately, because of the large number of Southwest aircraft cycling through San Diego, it is not uncommon to see one of the airline's famous special livery planes. | |||
