About this site

Escape San Diego is a free resource for San Diegans who want to travel more without paying full price. Every deal posted here is a real fare found from San Diego International Airport (SAN) — researched manually, verified before posting, and written up so you can book it in under five minutes.

San Diego is an underrated departure city. We have nonstop access to Mexico, Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest, and the whole continental US — often at prices that don't get the attention they deserve. This site exists to change that.

What you'll find here

Every post covers one deal: the destination, the price, the airline, the travel dates, and whether it's nonstop or connecting. No filler, no speculation — just fares worth booking.

Deals go fast. The best way to catch them is by subscribing to the free email newsletter. When a deal posts, it hits your inbox the same day.

How deals are found

Every morning: Google Flights Explore, Skyscanner, and airline deal alerts — all filtered for departures from SAN. If a fare is significantly below the typical price for that route and the dates are genuinely bookable, it gets posted.

Who runs this

One person, based in San Diego, who got tired of missing cheap flights.
