It also means such things as:

    suggest that Cape Town and Marrakech (suggested in another
    posting) should be utterly disqualified (although J-berg and
    Casablanca are more plausible on this dimension).

Some data about San Diego: Today, the flight information page on San
Diego "International" Airport web site shows a couple of flights
to/from Mexico and a couple to/from Canada -- all the others are
within US.

When meeting in North America, I would strongly prefer cities that
have several direct flight connections from both Europe and Asia.
Of the recent IETF meeting places, San Diego is the only one that
clearly fails this criteria... so why are we going there again?


Even direct flights within the US can be hard to find.

Depending on where you are coming from, and when you purchase your tickets,
you may find it faster / cheaper / better
to fly to LAX or Long Beach and drive down to San Diego. (LAX <-> San Diego is ~ 200 km, and LAX is basically on the San Diego Freeway.) I did this for the one San Diego IETF.

If you do that, be aware that there is a permanent immigration checkpoint on the
San Diego freeway Northbound, which can cause backups returning.
