You don't even get up to cruising altitude. It's around 20 minutes. Do they even have that route any more?

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!
