Ziya KerimovJune 20, 2019After Terminal A Security check, on the left, there's a place, they have a really delicious quesadillas!!! Try it!!!
Simple and smaller airport...but one of the best! Easy to get in and out of and the people are very friendly!!
Be forewarned! SJC is still under construction, tho looking beautiful & like a real airport. The walk from gate to baggage claim/exit is a HAUL! It'll feel like you're walking for miles. Good cardio!
Crystal M.March 8, 2015Go to the lounge in terminal A near the intl gates. $35 gets you hot food items and drinks including alcohol. Not to mention, faster wifi, comfy seats and workstation desks.- AT&TSeptember 6, 2011While you’re waiting for your flight, you can stay connected with AT&T Wi-Fi. It’s easy to connect and free for AT&T customers w/ certain smartphone or home broadband plans.
SJC is one long strip of gates that are on only one side. It can be a long walk to get to and from your gate. Not great. People with mobility issues should be prepared. The area has outgrown SJC.
Judith AndrewsMay 31, 2014Best food (and choices) is in Terminal B. If you have the time, just walk down to the higher numbered gates and you're there!
Easy car rental access from airport building. The security lines can get long - makeuse of your TSA pre-check if you have it.
SherlockeyJanuary 25, 2019one of my favorite airports! Not crowed, clean and tidy. Wifi is free and super fast!
Damithri SilvaOctober 26, 2012Free wifi and two power sockets and a usb charger in every seat! Great food selection too.
Spacious airport, usually fast TSA lines and plugs and charges between seats.
Marshall SJuly 8, 2010The ceiling art between gates 19/20 is uhmazeing! The 'e-cloud' @ 22/23 is RAD! The Baron Von Munchausen creation outside security is excellent! The aquarium @ 24/25 is cool too! Well done new SJC! I
There is an illy coffee bar in Terminal B (accessible from Terminal A) that makes a great proscuitto, tomato and basil sandwich as well as having the best coffee in the airport.
Carl DensingJune 15, 2013This has to be the best airport in the US. It's super modern, spacious, and clean, which is a big fucking deal, LAX!
New Charging station area with desks, chairs, and plenty if power outlets. Across from gate 18.
Ruben RodriguezOctober 29, 2011Free Wi-Fi that actually works at Gate 12. Most of the time, I can never connect at other free Wi-Fi hot spots. The chairs by the wndow all have a power outlet to charge up the gadgets.
DoubleTree by HiltonOctober 3, 2011Travel is a great excuse to clean out your purse! Getting rid of clutter in your carry-on bag will allow Transportation Security Officers to get a clear X-ray of your bag and save you time.
Southwest gate agents aren’t online until 5 AM or so - plan accordingly when taking a redeye and get some more sleep.
Women's bathroom stalls have little seats you can strap your little monster into while you take care of business (according to my wife)
Kim Sanders-WhittleAugust 7, 2017Easy to navigate and it's been upgraded tremendously since I started flying out of here in the mid 90s
I can get my bags, laptop, liquids, shoes, and metal accessories into the gray TSA trays in under 20 seconds, and you can too. I believe in you.
Really nice airport here but it’s a long walk without moving sidewalks if you go in the wrong entrance for your airline.- l sJune 11, 2019San Jose International Airport 15 miles to the north of San Jose dentist Santa Teresa Dental Center
Rob MacfarlaneApril 9, 2018Best wifi of any airport, and free. It even works in the airplane at the gate!
Awesome airport! Fly here for easy access to Santa Cruz, Monterey or Carmel. Love the rental car center!
My favorite mid-size airport with a growing list of international destinations.
Janet MillerSeptember 3, 2013Flown in lots never know where life takes you , but Uncle Paul's work is done and I don't think I will be back here what I had in Cali I will miss but not Cali as a state give me the East coast .... ✈
Pro Tip for Airline Pilots and Flight Crew, SJC currently does not offer KCM, Known Crew Member. SFO and LAX are the only airports in California that do offer KCM.
The relay in-between Terml A and Terml B is very peacefull and quiet.... without Volaris passengers sitting there of course!! lol. Gotta love the huge painting tho!! NICE!
Ryan SJune 25, 2014Been here 4-5 times and have never waited longer than 10-15 mins to go through security. Super fast, super easy!!
There's a piano here that anybody can play while waiting for your flight.
I think we’ve got a decent set of food options now.. Peet’s coffee, Mexican Grill, Smash burger etc., the charging ports under the seats aren’t working anymore
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the water bottle filler across from gates 24 & 25 is closed so the closest available ones are at gates 18 or 32.
Just made A-List Preferred on SouthwestAir. Usually I'm holding my breath in December to get airlines status. It's only June 7. Yikes!
Small but efficient airport, from drop off to gate usually less than 30 mins!
- Arrival TimeIt is recommended that you arrive 90 minutes prior to scheduled departure for check in and security processing for domestic flights and 2 hours prior for international flights.
- Massage chairs, y'all. What better way to destress before a flight. Gates 10 and 13, $5 for 30 minutes!
One of the easiest airports to get through. Only burbank is easier. Just break out the walking shoes if flying Alaska or Southwest.
Waiting for your bag? Kill some time checking out the SatCAM, just under the escalator near the information booth.
Nice small airport! Much closer to the Bay Area than SFO, and easier and friendlier too.
Brendan FarrellDecember 9, 2013Only TSA Pre "lite" @SJC. No TSA pre line, instead use regular line, may wear jackets, shoes, etc thru scanner, BUT due 2 scanner sensitivity have to remove everything anyway & remove laptops @United
FoliJune 5, 2013Keep up to date with your favorite publications even while traveling! Check out the Foli app for iPad which offers complimentary magazines at this location and many more!
Earl Gray IIIAugust 15, 2013LA is a great big freeway, put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star.
You can walk from Terminal A through Terminal B to get to the Rental Cars to save time!
Love the Airport except for the long walk after a long flight from gate to baggage claim area.
Not a bad airport, if trying to take public transportation from SF is a joke. There really needs to be a more direct / faster way to fly SJC from SF using public transportation.
Great airport!!! Very convenient parking and terminal A is very new and shiny.- Easy walk to the rental car garage and just about anywhere. Small and modern. Much less of a hassle than SFO.
Ebony HarrisDecember 28, 2013Come early! TSA line is ridiculous long, and they only have 3 lines open. Open up all the lines! It's Saturday, duh!
