The guide was updated:
The best time of the year to enjoy warm-weather activities in Carlsbad stretches from early June to early October. May stands out as a favorite travel month, coinciding with the peak bloom of The Flower Fields, when vibrant colors are on full display, and you can also delight in picking fresh, ripe strawberries.

Airports

Airports

The San Diego International Airport (SAN) is the closest major airport to Carlsbad, offering a variety of traveler services such as free WiFi, ATMs, restaurants, and shops. Terminal 1 accommodates airlines like Frontier, Spirit, Southwest, and Sun Country, while Terminal 2 serves international carriers including Lufthansa, Air Canada, and Japan Airlines. Taxis are the fastest and most convenient way to travel between Carlsbad and the airport; however, public transportation options such as the Amtrak Intercity and COASTER commuter trains also connect travelers from Los Angeles and Orange Counties to downtown San Diego. Additionally, McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD), located just 3 miles southeast of Carlsbad, is a smaller facility that offers select flights, but San Diego International Airport remains the primary hub served by most major airlines.
