I’m flying out on JetBlue Tuesday morning, hoping to get there by early afternoon.
-
Arriving Tuesday morning, dropping off bags and then heading to DCA for the day. Can't wait!
-
Arriving Tuesday afternoon, hopefully in time to head over the the Hilton for once.
-
I'm already here!

My birthday is Saturday, I'm a bridesmaid on Sunday, and I'm flying out on Monday. It would be pointless to work Monday and Tuesday after the wedding so I'll chill on the beach before SDCC begins :P
-
Arriving Wednesday morning!
-
Getting there Tuesday afternoon, for the second year in a row (we used to fly in on Wednesday). It’s super nice to arrive when things are more low key, and to enjoy the full menus for the Gaslamp Restaurants, rather than the abbreviated ones they serve during SDCC lol.
-
I’m flying in on Monday.. looking forward to some warm weather
-
I’m already here too!

Wednesday morning as usual. But I’m flying out Tuesday because I like to take my extra day after rather than before. (And, flights are cheaper on Tuesday.)
-
Also flying in Monday. We really enjoy San Diego, so I'm hoping to spend some time exploring non-downtown spots. Hopefully do something outdoorsy as well.

My third year arriving on Tuesday. It used to be Wednesday an hour before Preview Night, and before that, Thursday morning. So basically we used to dive headlong into the madness upon arrival, but now we value the downtime pre-con.
-
Getting in Tuesday. My son and I have tickets to see the Hugh Jackman show that night.
-
Probably late Tuesday night since I have a meeting on Tuesday so I will have to work. 😭

Hey, at least it’s not a meeting on Wednesday or Thursday!
-

-
im coming in early Tuesday just to get myself settled in

We arrive the Friday before! We like to have plenty of time to do other stuff before everything starts.
-
Wednesday! wish I had more time to enjoy but at least I get to eat lucha libre burritos before the con ;D
-
Coming in around noon (SD time) Tuesday. First year coming, I flew in on Wednesday..... total cluster because of airline delays.... never again. I like getting there and being able to get settled and hit up Ralphs for supplies.
-
Actually flying into LA on Sat to do a few days at Disneyland. Then we will be driving down to SD Tuesday afternoon to arrive at check in time.

Same! Flying in to OC Saturday, Disneyland Sunday (mainly for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge) and then taking the train down to San Diego Monday to enjoy the activation sets ups/pre-con calm before the storm (one of my favorite parts of the con) and hopefully so I can do my pre-con volunteer shift.
-
Tuesday night for me. I'm always paranoid that my flight will be delayed on Wednesday so I always go a day early.
-
we are driving in Tuesday

I learned those lessons the hard way. Second year going I had a 4 day badge so caught a red eye arriving at 7 AM Thursday morning. Got to LAX for our layover and the hop from LAX to SD was cancelled. Took them several hours to figure out what they were going to do and they finally threw us in a van and drove us down arriving at 2 PM. Missed the majority of a SDCC day that time.
So next year I got PN and had conan tickets for Wed so figured wouldn't take any chances and would fly in Tuesday night. Showed up to the airport on Tuesday and had 9 hours of delays and didn't arrive in SD until about 8AM Wed. Luckily some of my awesome group held spots for us in the Conan ticket line to jump into as soon as we got there.
Now I get in early on Tuesday..........
-
Flying into socal Sunday July 14th, but not getting to SD until Tuesday.
-
Coming in Wednesday afternoon straight from a work conference in Chicago...hopefully I'll still have energy after a full and busy weekend. I usually just drive in from the CA Central Coast, so fingers crossed there are no delays!
-
Spending a few days at Disneyland and then making it down to SD on Tuesday afternoon.
-
Arriving Tuesday in time for the meet up at HBF!
-
Every morning on the trolley.

we're thinging of doing a sm burger/beer thing sunday nite in the gaslamp if you're so inclined
-
When is everyone arriving...? Wait, aren't we not supposed to discuss our arrival times to prevent everyone else from arriving earlier? ;)
-
Driving in Wednesday morning. None of us have PN so we’ll enjoy the day Wednesday checking stuff out without worry of the convention center

Sure, I think I’m free so far.
-
Mmm...burger...

Most of my friends are arriving on Wednesday, but we're not driving down into downtown for real until Thursday morning. We have a tradition to eat at Honey's in Encinitas the morning of going to the con. Granted we have some new people and one normal group member might not be coming with us strictly. So, who knows if we'll do it this year.
I'll be going down Wednesday morning for the preview night meet-up at breakfast though!
-

We are going to a vegan place. Come out early and join us!

there will be nametags with forum names.... because, yes, i refer to everyone by their forum name ;)

Arriving Monday afternoon. Always nice to spend a little time looking around and eating/drinking before con

We love that restaurant, and Encinitas in general :) I always seem to find some good old sci-fi stuff at that little bookstore across the street from Honey's.
We are flying in on Monday again this year. Will hit the forum meetup on Tuesday and then see As You Like It at the Old Globe Tuesday night.

Wednesday in time to check-in at Hilton Bayfront, then enjoy preview night.

Honey's is the best! I've been going there since high school, didn't know about the little bookstore across the street though. It's confirmed that one of our friends won't be joining for early morning breakfast at Honey's shame. We'll try to still go though.

I’m always looking for new places to eat when I go to the Con. I guess I’ll have to see if we can make this place happen also

Saturday well before sunrise

Ummmmm....July 1999? Lucky to live about 20/25 min. from the Convention Center ^-^

By that logic I've arrived since February 1991 lol born and raised in SD and moved back after uni.

Depending if the hotel will let us check in early, the plan is to leave late Tuesday 11PM or Wed 2AM. We called ahead last year and they (different hotel) let us check in early so we started our 8hr drive earlier than planned. So yea.... Wednesday.

Even if you can't check in early, they can hold your bags until it is available and best the rush. That gives you time to roam around a bit.

Good to know, thanks!
I think the usual check in time for most places is 2PM? So we'd probably be out and about for 7 hrs at most before checking in if that were the case. Would be nice to get a bit of a rest though since we'd be lacking sleep aha
-
I will be arriving Monday afternoon till the next Monday morning. Hoping to do some San Diego touristy things which I never had the time to do.
-
My mom lives in San Diego still, so it's a Comic Con and home visit trip every year. So I typically arrive the weekend before. This year I'll probably get in Fri or Sat since I drive and can choose when to leave.
