Terminal tips

Long queues are common at SFO as flights are often delayed due to fog in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a good idea to have reading materials or a source of entertainment with you to help pass the time.

There are tourist attractions, such as Lake Merritt, or Powell Street situated closeby if you have a layover of over four hours.

The airport is 21km from downtown San Francisco. You will find taxi ranks outside the Arrivals level of all terminals. SamTrans buses run a 24-hour service between SFO, San Mateo County and parts of San Francisco. Buses stop outside Terminal 2 and 3 Arrivals, and at International Terminal Level 1, Courtyards A and G.

For those wanting to enjoy a good stretch before a flight, there are yoga rooms open 24 hours in Terminals 2 and 3.

The airport has a wide range of parking options, with free shuttles between the parking lots and the terminals, every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.

The BART rapid transit provides train services in San Francisco and the East Bay. The airport's BART station is on the Departures/Ticketing level of the International Terminal, Boarding Area G. For security reasons, it's generally recommended that tourists choose another transportation for late-night travel, especially if travelling alone.

AirTrain, a free 24-hour wheelchair-accessible train service, connects different parts of the airport at frequent intervals. The AirTrain Red Line links all terminals, most parking lots and the SFO BART station, while the Blue Line provides connections to the Rental Car Center.
