TRAVELING BY AIR

Flying is one of the easiest and fastest ways to reach the NASCAR Coronado Street Course for the NASCAR race at Coronado. San Diego is a major travel hub, welcoming millions of visitors each year, and its airports are conveniently located to make your arrival smooth and stress-free. Whether you’re coming from another U.S. city or traveling from overseas, you’ll find plenty of flight options and efficient connections to get you right into the heart of the action.

San Diego International Airport (SAN)

The primary gateway to the event is San Diego International Airport (SAN), located just a few miles northwest of downtown. As one of the most centrally located airports in the United States, it offers quick access to the Coronado Street Course — typically less than a 15-minute drive depending on traffic. The airport is served by most major U.S. airlines, including American, Delta, United, Alaska, and Southwest, as well as international carriers offering direct connections from Canada, Mexico, and key destinations across Europe and Asia.

San Diego International features two passenger terminals with a wide range of amenities, including restaurants, car rental desks, rideshare pick-up zones, and shuttle services. For those staying downtown, taxis, rideshares, and hotel shuttles provide a quick and affordable link to the race venue and surrounding accommodations.

Tijuana International Airport (TIJ)

For travelers who prefer more flexibility, Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) — located just across the U.S.–Mexico border — can be an excellent alternative, especially for visitors arriving from Latin America. The airport is connected to the United States via the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) pedestrian bridge, allowing passengers to walk directly from the airport terminal into San Diego in a matter of minutes. Several shuttle and rental car options are available on the U.S. side for a convenient transfer to the city center.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Another option for international arrivals is Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), about a two-hour drive north of San Diego. LAX is one of the busiest airports in the world and offers a much larger range of direct intercontinental flights. Many visitors choose to fly into Los Angeles and then either rent a car or take a direct Amtrak or regional flight to San Diego.

Whichever airport you choose, reaching the Coronado Street Course is straightforward thanks to excellent ground transport links. From shuttles and taxis to rental cars and public transit, getting to downtown San Diego is simple and efficient.
