How to get through airport security fast when traveling to El Cajon
If you like the thought of spending more time at the airport restaurants and less time wading through security on your way to El Cajon, just follow these helpful tips:

  • Airport security will request to see your travel ID and boarding pass upon arrival. Keep them in a convenient place, ready for inspection.
  • Wallets, belts and power banks must be placed in a tray for X-raying. If you enter the body scanner with any of these items, you’ll be asked to turn back and remove them.
  • Laptops, tablets and other electronic devices must be placed in separate tubs to be X-rayed.
  • Flying with your favorite cologne? As long as it contains no more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear resealable plastic bag, you can keep it in your hand luggage.
  • Security personnel may instruct you to take off your shoes in preparation for entering the body scanner. Wear a pair that slip off easily. There’s nothing more irritating than having to do up your laces again and again.
  • Pack any pocketknives or other sharp and pointy items in your checked luggage. Airport security won’t allow these on the aircraft.

Flights To El Cajon

Flying high over the mountains of Southern California, you may glimpse the city of El Cajon in the valley below. At night, sparkling like a jewel nestled amid the surrounding mountains, you can see why the city's nickname is "The Big Box." As flights to El Cajon sweep over San Diego and drop down to San Diego International Airport (SAN), the blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean lies to the west with mountains to the east.

Transportation from SAN

El Cajon lies 16 miles northeast of San Diego International Airport—a 24-minute drive in a rental car. To embrace the ambiance of the southland, a taxi, shuttle, or bus can take you to San Diego's light rail system, The Trolley, where you can relax and enjoy the ride to areas surrounding El Cajon hotels. A little tired after your flight? Relax by strolling along El Cajon's streets and art alleys, where artists have decorated everything from old brick walls, to dumpsters. The trolley also takes you to the Convention Center, San Diego's Old Town, and to the border, where you can cross over to Tijuana and immerse yourself in Mexico's rich culture. Is the beach calling your name? The Trolley carries you downtown, where you can transfer to a bus that will take you to a sandy beach for sunning or surfing. If you prefer to drive, jump on the freeway and take I-8 west to the coast, then continue on city streets to Ocean Beach, or head north on I-5 to Mission Bay Park or La Jolla.

Explore the Big Box

With all the history, parks, and museums, you can spend weeks exploring while on El Cajon vacations. Find frugal El Cajon flights on Travelocity and save your money for plenty of fun in the sunny southland. If you find a better price for El Cajon tickets and hotels, we will match that lower price and refund you the difference.
