I haven't done it yet, but I'm happy that UA added CLD, and at that from somewhere other than LAX (since that would involve a double connection)
The problem with TIJ is you have to pay about $35 to cross the bridge and an airport usage fee (about $45 one way). I’ve flown to SJD a few times this way but wouldn’t bother with PHX.
