For ATL–SAN we show about $129 on the low end and around $255 as a more typical one-way economy total, USD, last reviewed August 2026. A $129 one-way is a sale-shaped guide, not a fare you can screenshot and demand. Taxes, bags, and seats change what you pay on the seller site.

Distance and time ATL–SAN
Great-circle distance ATL–SAN is about 1,888 miles. Block time on a nonstop is typically near 4 hours; wind, routing, and which runway you use still move the clock. Connections on the same city pair add layover time on top of that flying.
San Diego is about 3 hours behind Atlanta on standard time (America/New_York vs America/Los_Angeles). Arrival clocks on SAN are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
When ATL–SAN has a nonstop, that is usually the cleanest product. One-stop options still appear — they are worth opening only if the USD total is materially lower after you count the extra ground time.
