I’m flying out of terminal 1, i want to go to the united lounge in terminal 2 before my flight. Will i be able to go through security and go to the lounge?

Will be arriving SAN via SWA connecting to Vancouver via AirCanada with wheelchair passenger.
Reverse a week later via Westport Air to SWA.

I am traveling with a group; most will be flying out of T2 and me out of T1.

I'd like for us all to be able to hang in the Airspace lounge (in T2) beforehand, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to get into that terminal, or whether I could then stay airside to get to my T1 gates.

Will it be possible for us to hang out together in T2 before the flights?
ZAP 03/20/2018
There is no airside connection between T1 and T2.

SW flt arrives 9 a.m. terminal 1 east, HI air flt departs 10 a.m. terminal 2 west. Will it be possible to get checked in & get through security at that hour on a weekday?
ZAP 02/13/2018
With no checked bags you have a chance, with checked bags there's no chance.

How far apart are the terminals to walk from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2?
Need to make a connecting flight from Southwest airlines to United airlines.
ZAP 02/03/2018
It's definitely walkable and of course the weather will almost definitely be great.
Sondra 01/29/2018
If I arrive on a SW flight at 3:45, will I have enough time to catch another SW flight at 4:35?
ZAP 01/29/2018
Yes, that is enough time.
GEORGE 01/28/2018
How long and which Terminal/Gate do I arrive from SJC to SAN and which Terminal/Gate do I board from SAN to SAT? Have approximately 35 minutes to catch flight to SAT upon landing at SAN. Will I be able to make that flight. Thank You.
ZAP 01/29/2018
What airline? If both flights are on Southwest the two gates will be near each other.
George 01/29/2018
ZAP - Southwest, sorry about that. THANK YOU.
