Try DOOR-TO-DOOR, get picked up at your home and delivered at Tj Airport front door and vice versa:
http://www.taxisairport.com/en/
Last September it cost for four of us from Eastlake to Tj Airport around $84.00 dlls., just consider the cost per person over the bridge: 16.00 dlls.
then the cost of Uber and it adds up, not to mention the walking and carrying.
We had a very professional and courteous bilingual driver and a clean, comfortable van, you can ask for him to pick you up when you call, his name is
Juan Ramn. We got his name because we wanted him to drive us back home on our return.
The only walking is when you return to the US: walk across the border and have your luggage checked thru the x-ray machine, we used our Sentri and
Ready Lane cards for quick re-entry back into the US, but I don't think you would use the regular pedestrian (very long) lane on your return because
public transportation have designated lanes (?).

Take bus 992 to sante fe station, then take shuttle that goes both ways from Tijuana airport-USA bridge, at least 6 months ago that was possible, $25
usd, I think it's hourly, check border crossing website.

Blue line to border. $2.25
walk across, Migration (ask for receipt, or pay again later.) $390 pesos
Bus to TJ airport $11 pesos. Turn right past taxi stand and walk a couple of hundred yards over bridge to traffic circle. Cross street and wait for
East bound bus to aeropuerto.
If you speak no spanish find the Volaris schuttle, at the train station or the airport.

Sounds like it is pretty straightforward....especially with little or no luggage/gear.

I have heard conflicting reports on the new pedestrian bridge to the TJ airport. Can that be used both ways if you aren't flying in or out of TJ? I
will be flying into San Diego, getting across somewhere and getting picked up. 3 or 4 days later I need to get back to the San Diego airport to come
home. I was thinking getting picked up at the airport in TJ would be easier as I have never walked across before and don't know where to tell my
Mexican friend to meet me, and I don't think she knows that area at all.

The cross border bridge can only be used by ticketed passengers flying out of or into TJ airport.

Nope. You need to show a ticket or reservation number to go southbound and a boarding pass northbound.

Is that a boarding pass coming into TJ or would a boarding pass for a flight out of SD work?

NO. It's only for passengers originating out of TJ or arriving into TJ.

You can do the urban transit options mentioned above, or take an uber or town car service airport-to-airport (uber now crosses border southbound
only). If you got the cash, take a town car.
