According to the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau, all major San Diego attractions – SeaWorld San Diego, LEGOLAND California, the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park - are open to the public. San Diego International Airport has been in operation throughout the wildfires, and all major freeways are open and flowing well.
Though the San Diego International Airport and John Wayne Airport (Orange County) remain open, travelers with immediate plans to visit Southern California can take advantage of airline policies to waive change fees to these and other area airports. Keep in mind policies vary, and in some cases travelers must commence their trips by November 1. Here, a list of airlines that have adjusted policies in the wake of the fires:
Alaska Airlines
American Airlines
ATA
Continental Airlines
Delta
Frontier Airlines
JetBlue
United Airlines
Northwest Airlines
US Airways
Qantas
Travelocity customers should check the Customer Care page for more information related to their trips.
Travelocity has received information on closures at the following hotels in Southern California, but we advise travelers to check with individual properties to confirm status.
Lake Arrowhead Resort
Pala Mesa Resort
Inn at Rancho Santa Fe
Morgan Run
Travelers to Southern California may run into issues at hotel check in, as some evacuees have chosen hotels over area shelters. Road closures may complicate getting to your destination from the airport; the California Department of Transportation has up-to-date information regarding road closures.
