Oakland International Airport

I have to admit that I like OAK. The TSA lines are not as crazy at SFO and since the air traffic isn't as heavy as SFO, it isn't that crowded. Flying to and from Hawaii is convenient to where we live on the east bay and the amount of flights to the islands is plentiful. You can choose from Alaska, Hawaiian Air, or Southwest, all go to Honolulu. For other international destinations SFO is more convenient since it's a major hub for United, but for Hawaii trips, this place is great.
Their long term parking is also very convenient and located next to Terminal 1. You can even walk to the terminal in a few short minutes if you park close to the parking entrance. Otherwise, you can always use the airport parking shuttle.

Oakland International Airport is another airport, where I think it's a good transportation option to travel domestically just like SJ Mineta Airport. Not really difference between both airports, but I imagine that this airport is like the one in SJ

Pretty much they have good restaurants and shops. Airport is sanitized and kept clean. Expect to be much foot traffic especially on the weekends. Also have a safe flight when you get here!

OAK is a Small airport, like the Bob Hope (BUR) airport in Burbank so, it has its pros and cons.

*Pros*
- no long lines when checking your luggage
- security checkpoint has been easy to go through
- catching a rideshare is easy, no shuttle's needed

*Cons*
- only one Flight/Gate information screen located in the back of the terminal, near gate 11, so, it will be terrible if you're in a rush trying to confirm your departure gate.
- The gate agents from multiple airlines talk over each other so it's very easy to miss your boarding details having to fight over what information to filter out. They need to fix this
- Not a lot of food options, probably since it is a small airport

Overall I would recommend this airport as opposed to SFO for the ease of it. And it is less crowded

Terminal 2 is so hot!! No air conditioning!!

Not cool!

Go to SFO if you want to stay cool.

Not a thorough visit. A layover from Ontario ca to Kauai Hi. The bathrooms are clean, peeps are friendly.

Easy airport to fly in and out. Catching Uber or Lyft is right outside. Not far from baggage claim. Nice service all around from all the staff. Flew out here for business during busy Easter break but the lines moved quickly. There's Peet's coffee for us coffee lovers which is a plus. Plenty of parking adjacent to the terminals. The escape lounge is available and opens early. Access for all with a fee, or complimentary with AX or Delta Sky Miles with AX. Overall, great experience.

Cheers!

I love coming to this airport because it's close to everywhere and the flights usually aren't that bad. Its usually not that busy here but during vacation times it can get busy . The parking is usually great as well .

Easy airport to navigate....of course we live Southwest! Great option for those who love to travel to Sonoma Coast/Napa area!

Stop in at Vino Volo for some extra love and good vibes while you wait for your flight..

I spent 5 hours at this airport and spent way too much at the one kiosk at baggage claim. Once you exit, there's no food for those of us waiting a few hours for rides or shuttles. (Yes, I said hours).

For the first time it was smooth, easy in and Roth through tsa - 4 minutes - with tsa precheck

Flying into OAK is normally pretty smooth. Quick deplaning, and the airport is organized pretty well. Whenever I'm picked up here, it's quick in and out. There's a nearby cell phone lot, which is convenient.

I've also rented a car from here - pretty smooth. You need to take a short shuttle ride to the car rental area. The lines go slow, but the car I got was pretty good. I was warned as I left not to park in the area because of all of the smash and grabs that were happening. I'm not surprised, because it's Oakland, but it was still a little unsettling.
