Terminal 2 - pre-check line is now on the right. A-list is now on the left.
Eric McRaeNovember 25, 2010A good way to pass the time is to try to figure out what kind of Asian each one of them is. Maybe it's Korean, maybe chinese, maybe it's something I've never even heard of.
Mike HowardSeptember 22, 2013Don't eat at Maxs deli. Steadily going downhill. Watery turkey, wilted onions, no potato salad, no wheat bread. It was gross. $2.79 for a little bag of chips. Corp in San Ramon should be embarrassed
Wifi is free but bandwidth BLOWS!
QuikPark is the best. Book online for $6 a day. Cheeeeap.
Adrienne DickinsonJanuary 20, 2011TSA check in terminal one is the most professional, efficient and stress free security I've ever seen. If this was how security was everywhere we'd be much happier travelers.
The shortest walk from economy parking of any airport ever.
If you park premium parking you can get a pass to skip security line.
Jorge SanchezSeptember 20, 2012Leave extra early..... So your not rushing to your flight leaving chicken legs behind!!
Do not stop anywhere near the airport, you may have your vehicle broken into.
Don't wait until the last minute to get everything ready for security. Do yourself and everyone else a favor. Be prepared.
Hackers are targeting business users on the free wifi. Use a personal mifi or avoid doing anything requiring a login.
Valerie CossioJune 11, 2010I've been to many airports and this is one of the better ones. Always smooth and efficient
This airport is freezing every time i come. I'm wearing snow boots, a knit scarf, a thermal, and a hoodie, but I'm so cold!!
The brick oven pizza near gate 24 is great....quick too!
Love Southwest flights outta Oakland! So easy and convenient.
9 out of 10 flights are delayed that route through Chicago. Always check the flight BEFORE yours to see if you'll be delayed
Ethan SchafferOctober 17, 2011Food is way better in SWA terminal, gates 20 - 25! More veg, real food and even a wine bar.
Lewis ChiltonFebruary 26, 2012Love OAK ... everything easier than SFO, except the pretty poor food options
Gordon Biersch has 4HB friendly chicken and tuna salad sides to go.
Love this airport. The parking is close and the TSA here is easy.
expresso parking is the best. use the coupon on the website for an even better rate.
TSA aren't nice anymore.. Or they used to have nice people who allow late birds to at least go front of security check. Nope, not anymore. Missed my flight, now here just waiting, all alone... :(
Vivian WuAugust 23, 2011The airport traffic flow and signs have gotten a lot better. The on site parking entrances are consolidated now.
Here's a tip...YOU DONT HAVE TO SHOUT INTO YOUR CELL PHONE FOR PEOPLE TO HEAR YOU, you babbling idiot
Fireside Cafe, Vino Volos and Starbucks never let me down in the Southwest terminal!
Debbie CranberryfriesSeptember 19, 2011Cheaper than SFO and if you're doing anything in bay area you avoid the SF traffic some
JenniferAugust 15, 2010If you are flying Southwest and need to check bags, print your boarding pass at home. You can use express bag check and avoid getting stuck in the other check-in line behind less savvy travellers.
Escalators and moving sidewalks are being repaired more often than they're working.
Charity McDonaldDecember 16, 2012Gates 26 and 27 next to Starbucks and the pretzel shop smell amazing.
