    TSA aren't nice anymore.. Or they used to have nice people who allow late birds to at least go front of security check. Nope, not anymore. Missed my flight, now here just waiting, all alone... :(

    Pretty small airport. There is only one main security line...recommend at least 1.5 hours at the least to check in (w/o no checked bags)

    Cheaper than SFO and if you're doing anything in bay area you avoid the SF traffic some

    Spirit Airlines charges $40 per carry-on that needs to go in the overhead bin! Their low fares are a trick.

    Really hate this airport. It is dirty and smells. Limited options for food. One place had music so loud it was echoing throughout the gate. Get me out of here and I am not coming back.

    What did the oakland shoreline look like before it was filled in? The educational signs are actually quite interesting.

    Add some extra time to your schedule if you need to rent a car. Car rental requires a shuttle ride.

    Don't eat at Maxs deli. Steadily going downhill. Watery turkey, wilted onions, no potato salad, no wheat bread. It was gross. $2.79 for a little bag of chips. Corp in San Ramon should be embarrassed
