San Francisco International Terminal 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. Yoga studios? You bet. Free WiFi? Of course! Here are a few great reasons why SFO deserves to be your favorite airport. TRANSPORTATION Making your way to or from the airport to downtown San Francisco is a piece of cake. The most cost-effective method is BART, which costs $8.95 from the airport to the Embarcadero and takes about 35 minutes. BART is easily accessed from any terminal by riding SFO’s free AirTrain to the Garage G/BART Station stop. Taxis are readily available from the roadway Center Islands on the Arrivals/ Baggage Claim Level of all terminals. The cost is approximately $42-52 to the Union Square area, depending on traffic and including a $2 airport surcharge. If you need to get to areas outside the city, there are shuttles and vans, as well as privately operated buses that depart on a regular schedule from Center Island transportation zones on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim Level. Companies such as Lyft and UberX also provide prearranged transportation between SFO and passenger-specified locations. RELAXATION Let’s face it, travel can be stressful. At SFO you’ll find numerous ways to help take the edge off. From Recompose areas just after the security checkpoints to spa services to yoga rooms to interactive displays like the Flight Deck, there are many ways to find a moment of calm and relax.

FINE ART San Francisco International Airport is the first in the country to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, so if you’ve got some time on your hands waiting for your flight to depart, check out some of the exhibits scattered throughout the airport. Photography, sculpture and other art exhibits are loaned to SFO Museum from other museums and private collections, supplementing the collection of aviation-related materials found in the Aviation Museum and Library housed at the airport (flysfo.com/museum). LOCAL DINING It would take months or even years to sample all the amazing restaurants in San Francisco, but if you miss a particular local institution during your visit, you might be able to try it at the airport. You can taste San Francisco’s famous sourdough from Boudin’s Bakery, enjoy an Irish coffee at Buena Vista Café, experience cuisine from celebrity chefs like Cat Cora or Tyler Florence, or find artisanal foods at the Napa Farms Market — just to name a few of the “only in San Francisco” spots you’ll find in the airport.
