Stopped by the San Diego lounge and figured I’d ask if they had any luggage tags. They pulled out a huge box full of them. Nice little perk I didn’t even know they offered.

New SAN T1 is a huge upgrade

Just went through the new Terminal 1 at SAN and wow, it actually feels roomy now. Tons of food options, better shopping, and bathrooms that aren’t crammed right next to the escalators. Honestly such a massive improvement over the old setup.
