Passengers transferring to oneworld member airlines
The following oneworld member airlines are found at San Diego International Airport:
Boarding pass
- Japan Airlines (JL) passengers connecting onto oneworld member airline flights should receive a boarding pass for the oneworld member airline flight upon departure from Japan. (*)

Checked baggage (Re-check)
Regardless of whether your final destination is within the US or abroad, all passengers must go through a customs inspection when entering the United States.

The baggage collected for the customs inspection can be deposited again at Baggage Drop Off.
- After completing the customs inspection, please exit the Customs area and proceed to the Baggage Drop Off counter on the right-hand side.
- Please show your airline ticket or boarding pass and re-check your baggage.
