The Cheapest International Destinations From San Diego

Some international trips from San Diego are reliably affordable, and knowing the normal price is most of the battle.\n\nMexico is the easy answer — Cabo, Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City all run well under $300 roundtrip several times a year. Central America is next, with Costa Rica and Panama landing in the $350 to $450 range on one-stop itineraries.\n\nEurope surprises people. Madrid, Lisbon and London all drop into the $500s from SAN during fall and winter. Asia is the longest haul but Tokyo and Seoul both hit the $600s when the timing is right.\n\nA good rule: if the fare is 30 percent or more below what you normally see for that city, it is worth acting on.
