After nearly four years of construction, it's almost time to take flight from the new Terminal 1 at the San Diego International Airport.

“I've seen a bunch of the signs they have everywhere saying the new terminals are going to come up, and that's very exciting,” UC San Diego junior Beatrice Arzate said.

She walked through the current Terminal 1 after landing in San Diego on Wednesday.

“Usually I'm flying out of Terminal 1, so I think that's why I'm most excited about it,” she said. “Because this is usually where I’m going and it feels more like a treat to go to Terminal 2 because it's so much nicer — so they'll be more even now.”

The new Terminal 1 has separate roadways for departures and arrivals.

A parking structure with about 5,200 parking spaces opened in recent months.
