    At Oakland Airport the Economy Parking is the worst. They have terrible spacing between shuttles, two come together and then none for 20 minutes.

    Nice small airport. Just be careful what entrance you go in. One section of it is entirely Southwest and you have to go back outside and walk down to the other airlines.
