Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from PWK to San Diego Airport last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a fabulous way to explore the globe, but it isn't always the best method to pick up a bargain flight. Consider booking your Chicago Executive Airport to SAN trip in advance rather than leaving it until the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. You can unleash your spontaneous side when you're exploring SAN!
What airports do you fly into for San Diego from Chicago?
San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN), McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD) and San Diego, CA (MYF-Montgomery Field) are your choices when taking off from Chicago to San Diego. Roughly 3 kilometers northwest of downtown San Diego, San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN) is the city's main gateway. Think about factors like flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before deciding on an airport.

Can I change the date of my flight from Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) to San Diego Airport?
