The Stuck at the Airport team spent a long day touring San Diego International Airport’s lovely new Terminal 1 facility, which is scheduled to begin hosting flights on September 22, 2025.

We’ll be back with more images and information, but because it’s Friday, we’re declaring one of the SAN’s new restroom features Airport Amenity of the Week.

In each restroom, every sink has three fixtures.

One dispenses soap.

One dispenses water.

And one is the airport amenity of the week: a personal hand dryer.

This should cut down, or perhaps eliminate, icky wet counters that result from hand washers searching around for and walking over to communal hand dryer machines or paper towel dispensers.

Good thinking, San Diego International Airport!
