Can I not continue on my connecting flight

Can I not continue on my connecting flight?
I am trying to find a flight from San Diego to Newark one way. The best I have found for my dates is $300. However, there is a flight on Continental from San Diego to Philadelpia with a connection in Newark for only $90! Can I just get off at Newark and not continue on the flight? The only issue I can think of is that I would have to carry everything on as if I check in anything, they will be tagged for Philly. Is there anything else I am overlooking?

You should be able to get off in Newark, along with your luggage. Call the airline and ask the question.
2 :
well.....u may.... When you have booked a ticket, it means you will complete the whole journey.....but still can... and if you want to get of on the halfway through, pls contact continental for further queries.
3 :
is this round trip or one way? if round trip your return reservations will be canceled and sometimes if You don't check in for the connecting flight some airline alert the police or page you on the PA system as they might think you got lost

Well here is the thing... Even though its considered an illegal airline ticketing policy-- The airline cant make you take the rest of your connection. And there is nothing they will do about it if you dont get on the plane. However, they WILL check your bags all the way through. You will want to use a carry-on bag so you dont have any issues. Beware of one thing, any other flights you have on this ticket after the connection, will be cancelled as well. So make sure it is indeed a one way ticket.

You can take the "Flyaway" shuttle from LAX to Union Station in downtown LA and then Amtrak train (Pacific Surfliner) to SD.

You don't even get up to cruising altitude. It's around 20 minutes. Do they even have that route any more?
2 :
Between 45 and 59 minutes for the 108 miles. 26 flights per day (American Eagle, Skywest). http://www.kayak.com â—‹â– â—‹â– â—‹ Added: The question asked was about the flight time; some idiots here think it is in their command to decide what people should or should not do. Thanks for the thumbs dowm for an answer which just has provided what was asked for. All other answerers have just provided their own inpressions. It is really a pity that these type of "comments" are applied more and more on this platform, especially by some "so called" [trolling] top contributors.

It's only about 100 miles. You'll spend more time on the tarmac waiting to take off and land that the flight will take. It will also be expensive compared to the Amtrak "Pacific Surfliner" which takes 2 hours and gives you a scenically beautiful, and cheaper, journey along the California coastline.

It's a very short flight, but the landing in San Diego is one of the scariest anywhere. The airport is right on the edge of downtown, next to I-5. And no matter from which direction you're coming, the plane will fly into the airport from the east, over the city, next to the skyscrapers downtown. If you know San Diego geography at all, you look out and see that you're just about at even height with what used to be the old El Cortez Hotel, maybe 13 or 15 stories tall, and descending --- but you're still over a mile from the airport. Here you are, maybe 150 feet or so above ground, and steadily descending, and you've still got a mile to go! Finally, you swoop in over I-5, at just above power line height, and touch down. Believe me, even if you don't drink, you head straight for a bar after that landing! The only scarier place I know of in which to land is Juneau, Alaska. Don't get me started talking about THAT airport!

Visiting San Diego from England

Visiting San Diego from England...?
Hi! I have booked a flight to San Diego in September, i'll be there for 7 days. Does anyone know a good hotel in San Diego? I would like it to be fairly close to the airport as I would be getting taxis to and from the airport, but also fairly close to the beaches. I can afford up to about $120 a night... Any ideas? Thanks!

Go to hotels.com

I think you'd want to take the tram/light rail or a bus out of the airport to San Diego proper, and from the downtown area, you can continue on the rail around town. There's no reason to limit yourself to the airport area for your hotel- you'd only have to trek back each day. The visitor's site has hotel and transport info- there are hundreds of hotels in the area.
4 :
There are not many decent Hotels right next to the Airport. You should look for Hotels in the Downtown area. In Downtown you can look for them around Convention Center/Gaslamp Quarter. This will get you about 5 minutes from the Airport and right next to the Bay. For actual beaches you will be about 15 minutes away. Some hotels will have shuttles from the airport especially in the Downtown area. If you get one in the Gaslamp Quarter area you will be near the Trolly which is a light rail system that will get you to several points in San Diego. For the beach you can either take a bus or taxi.
