San Diego-Tijuana Airport Cross-Border Airport Plan Gets Green Light
Plans to build and operate a San Diego-Tijuana International Airport cross-border airport terminal received final approval and construction should begin shortly, officials said last week. The plan calls for a 525-foot (160-meter) long pedestrian bridge that connects the Tijuana airport terminal to a 65,000-square foot structure on the U.S. side....

Just read the full story and it looks like this would be an arrangement for International traffic only. Pity, if security arrangements could be worked out, a Geneva-like set up could be great for San Diego.
Looks a lot like the Geneva Airport arrangement ... a domestic French flight can land at Geneva, passengers remain in the French section of the airport and exit on the French side of the border.
What's the issue?
get off the flight, do baggage claim, do passports and customs for whichever country is the one you are entering.
Two check-in halls, two passport controls, segregated security, one air-side area.
I'm sure that's the way Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg works (but it's a long time since I've been there)

A pedestrian bridge? Oh dear. I assume that won't appeal to most Americans, wide bodied jets that they are ;-)
That wasn't very nice Adrian.
Don't shoot the messenger!
I didn't.
Well then you have no sense of humour. I shouldn't have expected an American (I'm assuming you're from the US) to get irony. Here's how it works: Americans (closely followed by us Brits) have more fat people than anywhere else. And particularly so in Texas. I know people will drive to another shopping mall rather than walk to the shops if they can't get a parking space nearby. So my assertion is that it's ironic they've built a pedestrian bridge for people who have a massive aversion to walking. They'll probably drive to Tijuana rather than make the walk. And that is funny. It has nothing to do with nice.
Lord why are people so snarky. I do have a sense of humor. I do get irony. And I also become annoyed when people talk to me like I'm 5. Some people's sense of humor, Adrian, simply don't come through via their written word. Yours to name one. A large portion of America's population is very health conscious and are not fat. Conversely, the opposite is taking place in in merry olde England. Saying you shouldn't have expected an American to get irony sounded like a put-down. Work on your written ironic skills. And this post has all to do with nice - I'm letting you know you have some work to do. Plus, and most importantly, you were NOT the messenger, you were the one saying it. Get straightened out with what you say.
That's because we have more acres in our shopping malls than most countries countries have total. We also know how to cook. Lol
