SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT AMENITIES
IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT A CITY LIKE SAN FRANCISCO WOULD HAVE AN AIRPORT WITH NEARLY AS MANY OPTIONS FOR DINING AND CULTURE AS THE CITY ITSELF. FRESH SEAFOOD WHILE WAITING FOR YOUR FLIGHT? CHECK. AN ART MUSEUM? YUP. FREE WI-FI? OF COURSE! HERE ARE A FEW GREAT REASONS WHY SFO DESERVES TO BE YOUR FAVORITE AIRPORT.
GETTING TO & FROM SFO
Public transportation is the best bet for getting back and forth from SFO. Refer to Transportation Basics for detailed information about the options.
NAVIGATING AROUND SFO
Don’t let its size discourage you: SFO is an easy place to navigate. Large, well-placed signs in every terminal direct travelers to gates, transportation, restrooms, dining and other amenities. Move between terminals aboard SFO’s AirTrain, a free service that runs 24/7. The Red Line connects terminals, parking garages, the BART station and the Grand Hyatt at SFO, while the Blue Line also travels to the rental car center and long-term parking.
LOCAL BITES, ART & RELAXATION
It would take months or even years to sample all the amazing restaurants in San Francisco, so we’ll forgive you for not making it to all of them during your stay. Luckily, SFO provides unique-to-San Francisco dining experiences like fresh local seafood or mini hot dogs at Gott’s Roadside, ordering a fresh-brewed cup of java at Roasting Plant Coffee or finding artisanal foods at the Napa Farms Market.
San Francisco International Airport is the first airport in the country to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. While you’re waiting to board, check out some of the photography and sculpture exhibits scattered throughout the airport. Learn more at sfomuseum.com.
Take the edge off before liftoff at one of SFO’s Recompose areas (located just after the security checkpoints), yoga rooms or calming interactive displays. Check out more options, like spa services, at flysfo.com/shop-dine-relax.
STAY CONNECTED: SFO offers one-click, ad-free, free Wi-Fi. Look for the #SFO_FREE_WIFI network, launch your browser and click “Accept the Terms” for two hours of free internet access. Log in again if you need more time.
