On the weekends is the worst time to come here because it's so busy. There are a few vending machines with drinks and snacks.

    Bob Maxwell died in August 2010 a the age of 88, but his legacy lives on as an aviator and a…read morecommunity leader. He was so influential a supporter of Oceanside's little airport, that in 2013, Oceanside Municipal Airport was renamed in his honor. Now Oceanside Municipal Airport is officially called the Bob Maxwell Memorial Field. The general aviation airport is located on 43-acres in the community of Oceanside in San Diego's coastal north county. It features one runway and fuel services. According to their website, the Bob Maxwell Field "provides tie-downs, hangars, transient parking, restrooms, coffee, and snacks daily from 9:00AM -5:00PM." While this is considered a smallish-landing place, I gave the airport, in which I stopped at on my way home from LA last week, 4 YELP STARS. 1 YELP STAR was deducted for some noise issues. According to a story in the Coast News, over the years, "noise mitigation has been a problem." The airport has received complaints about small aircraft that don't follow the designated take off and landing path and veer over nearby houses." The airport is mostly utilized by local private pilots and small businesses, with about 12,000 total operations per year. The majority of traffic here is small planes while the corporate jets and bigger planes will utilize nearby McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad. But what is so fabulous is that this Oceanside airfield honors the memory of a former Tuskegee Airman & aviation enthusiast who was instrumental in saving Oceanside's Airport when it was slated for closure, as part of a shady land grab back in 2006.. Maxwell joined the Army Air Corps during World War II and was trained as a bomber pilot. He was an esteemed member of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen--the first group of African-American fighter & bomber pilots ever in our country's history. The group was collectively honored with a congressional Gold Medal for service in 2007. Oceanside's small airport in the city's San Luis Rey Valley just north of Highway 76.is lucky to be renamed after such an honorable and beloved aviation figure as Bob Maxwell.

    I have flown out of the Tijuana airport a few times in my life, the most recent time being last…read moreweek. It was the first time I went to that airport since CBX had been constructed. Hubby and I were headed to Puerto Escondido, which is very expensive and very time-consuming to fly to from the airport in San Diego. However, flight prices and times were much more reasonable from Tijuana. Thanks to CBX, we didn't need to find anyone to cross the border and drive us directly to the airport, especially as our flight departed at 5:40 AM. It was nice to have an easy drop off on this side of the border. Anyway, we were dropped off on the US side, and had pre-purchased CBX tickets online for $50 per person, round trip. I felt that the price was very fair for the staffing and amenities along the way. We had already reserved a rideshare to drive us to CBX, but I saw the secure parking lots and realized that parking there is also a valid, safe option. It appeared that some of the secured parking cost about $30 per day, making it a good option depending how may days you would like to park your car. Anyway, when we entered, there were people guiding us, as it wasn't too crowded at that early hour. You scan your CBX ticket, your boarding pass, and your passport. Then you are able to walk through the barriers. There are escalators and elevators to get to the bridge, and signs stating that there is assistance available for people with disabilities. The bridge was clean and air-conditioned. We walked through customs just prior to entering the Tijuana airport. When I had learned about CBX, I was reluctant. A friend of mine told me that she had walked much further in various airports. It is true. The walk is short and easy Upon coming back to the states, we learned that there were several taco and other food trucks on the US side of CBX, as well as Starbucks and a well-known mall pretzel company. All in all, I am grateful to have a way to access the TJ airoprt in a very easy and affordable way. I plan to continue to use CBX for more affordable flights south of the border.

    Easy peasy. With CBX, San Diego County basically gets a bonus airport out of TIJ that offers more…read moredirect flights, especially to other parts of Mexico. I used CBX to fly from TIJ to San Miguel Allende 10 years ago, and recently to Cancun. Both times were uneventful, exactly how I like my airport experiences to be. Purchase your CBX pass and parking ahead of time. Parking is priced cheapest in the dirt lot and most expensive in the covered/paved lot. I prefer the Goldilocks of uncovered paved in Lot A up front. Upon arrival, scan your CBX ticket and boarding pass (you can link them and just scan boarding pass as well, but don't need to). Same on the way back.

    This railroad station in Downtown Carlsbad serves the Coaster computer rail line between Oceanside…read moreand Downtown San Diego. It has a single side platform for the single set of tracks that go through Carlsbad. Overall, I think this is a very nice station. North County Transit District buses also stop here, most importantly in my book, Route 101 that runs on Historic 101 between Oceanside and UTC in La Jolla. There are over 400 parking spaces at the station, which is a short walk to restaurants, coffee shops, retail shops, and more. The Carlsbad Village station is not the historic Carlsbad station that was used by Santa Fe Railroad until 1960. That station still stands about 1/10th of a mile south.

    Hadn't ridden the Coaster in a while, but recently took it to an event at the Belly Up in Solana…read moreBeach and it turned out to be a great choice. Traveled on a Friday around 5pm and parked at the Carlsbad Village station. Parking took quite a while to find, so I'd definitely recommend giving yourself extra time if you're leaving during peak hours. The ride itself was smooth and relaxing. One cool perk is that you're allowed to bring and enjoy alcoholic beverages onboard, which is a great way to save some cash before hitting your destination. Free Wi-Fi was also a nice bonus. All in all, it was a convenient and fun way to get to the show! Also on Fri and Saturdays they have a later schedule.
