    Travel is a great excuse to clean out your purse! Getting rid of clutter in your carry-on bag will allow Transportation Security Officers to get a clear X-ray of your bag and save you time.

    Free Wi-Fi that actually works at Gate 12. Most of the time, I can never connect at other free Wi-Fi hot spots. The chairs by the wndow all have a power outlet to charge up the gadgets.

    Women's bathroom stalls have little seats you can strap your little monster into while you take care of business (according to my wife)

    Best wifi of any airport, and free. It even works in the airplane at the gate!

    The airport opens up at 4:00 AM since San Jose has a "noise curfew", so don't come before that if you have an early flight.

    Clean, modern, and convenient airport. Best way to fly into the SF area. Cheaper car rentals than SFO.

    Apparently if you buy a ticket you can board something called a plane and go to interesting places - try it, you will be amazed.

    Enjoy the Natural Light. There are so many windows that during the day, you literally forget that there is overhead lighting.

    Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the water bottle filler across from gates 24 & 25 is closed so the closest available ones are at gates 18 or 32.

    Impressive. 4 TSA Desks compared to just 2 at a bigger airport of SFO. Good job San Jose to keep like lines short.

    Only TSA Pre "lite" @SJC. No TSA pre line, instead use regular line, may wear jackets, shoes, etc thru scanner, BUT due 2 scanner sensitivity have to remove everything anyway & remove laptops @United

    Pro Tip for Airline Pilots and Flight Crew, SJC currently does not offer KCM, Known Crew Member. SFO and LAX are the only airports in California that do offer KCM.

    Economy lot 1 seems to always be full now. Have to park all the way down at lots 4 or 6 at Terminal B. A total pain in the ass.

    One of the beat airports I've been to, love the A-list check in AND also at the security, I think only southwest has that.

    If arriving after 9pm the airport (especially Terminal A) is deserted with most restaurants closed. Gordon Biersch next to Gate 11 in Terminal A is one of the only places open.

    Not a bad airport, if trying to take public transportation from SF is a joke. There really needs to be a more direct / faster way to fly SJC from SF using public transportation.

    It’s official: there is nothing noteworthy about this airport. Zero. It is as utilitarian as it gets for an airport that serves 40,000 people a day.
