Since Terminal 1 remodel, they lost the burrito place. So breakfast (at Chilis togo) stops at 10am. Plan accordingly if flying early.
expresso parking is the best. use the coupon on the website for an even better rate.
free wifi (though it's slow). security moves fast! couldn't find a cocktail before my night flight though.
Julia FirenzJanuary 5, 2013Sometimes they check your hair. Try not to get mad when they mess up your 'do.
Otis SpunkmeyerMarch 2, 2011Otis Spunkmeyer factory store is just 4 miles away. Drop by as you leave OAK!
Do not stop anywhere near the airport, you may have your vehicle broken into.
Baggage claim is one of the longest waits in the country. Check yo' bag and check yo'self!
Check the Raiders' schedule before you book your flights.. It can get hectic!!!
Terminal 2 TSA line too long? Go through Terminal 1. Line is usually short and you can cut through to Terminal 2 by the Starbucks.
Mihika VermaAugust 27, 2016Don't fly here if you're flying international - immigration and customs takes forever!- Brooks JordanFebruary 6, 2010Now you get a "security pass" at a kiosk for Southwest after 121 boarding passes have been issued. Something about their Business Select program.
Sergio MedinaJuly 14, 2014Don't buy anything in the store before the security checkpoint. It is more expensive than inside
Don DibertNovember 11, 2014No TSA Pre-chek? Whazzup whit dat???!?? OMGG poor little ol lady had NO idea what was going on! Didn't wanna take off her shoes! I don't blame her! NOT much of a security threat from her! SLOW!!

SHOWBIZ 102.5 KDON @DJBIZ (follow on twitter)January 14, 2012Try not to get robbed at night on 98th & E-14 .... just sayin'
Way easier than SFO. Get here early and grab a beer.
Ethan SchafferOctober 17, 2011Food is way better in SWA terminal, gates 20 - 25! More veg, real food and even a wine bar.
Mark AddisOctober 13, 2011This airport finds ways to delay. 35 mins from rental car dropoff to terminal due too horrible shuttle. Only 2 security lanes open at 4:30pm on a Thursday for Southwest flights. SFO does way better!
