What's happening
There were major delays at San Diego (SAN) on November 13, 2026 because of heavy traffic. It lasted about 3h 59m, from roughly 7:08 PM ET to 11:07 PM ET, with flights averaging 34m late.
Why
More flights are scheduled than the airport can handle right now, so air traffic control meters them. The stated reason: "airport volume".
Who's affected most
San Diego is a hub for Alaska Airlines, so delays here ripple into flights that never touch SAN, especially later in the day.
What to do
- Check your flight in your airline's app before leaving for the airport.
- If your flight is cancelled and you decline the rebooking, U.S. rules entitle you to a cash refund, not a voucher.
- Delayed 3+ hours on a flight to or from Europe or Canada? You may be owed cash compensation.
