Got Global Entry? There are no kiosks, but if you have your card with you, you can go through the crew line when going through immigration.
Cristina MunozAugust 12, 2014Great airport! They even have an "office/workstation" suite near terminal 18
Best place to park for daily is terminal A parking - no security lines and short walk to terminal B
Green HippieOctober 24, 2016Terminal B is the only terminal which has mothers rooms for nursing and pumping mothers.
Nice modern and clean with intriguing art installations.
Fly mid-morning and you'll breeze through TSA security with ease and no lines.
There's no skyteam lounge and otherwise mediocre amenities at SJC. There's no reason to arrive early if you have TSA Pre and can clear security quickly.
One of the beat airports I've been to, love the A-list check in AND also at the security, I think only southwest has that.
Tanzeel urRehmanMarch 27, 2013The airport opens up at 4:00 AM since San Jose has a "noise curfew", so don't come before that if you have an early flight.
Jessamyn WeldAugust 15, 2014No "uncaged animals," so if you brought your dog to greet someone you're picking up, you couldn't bring them in the airport. Had I known this, wouldn't have brought my dog!
adam mcqueenMarch 16, 2013Very nice airport!! The Sharks Tank Bar was a great place for a beer before boarding my flight!!- SJC wireless now doesn't require registration. Just connect and surf. Nice! Wish more airlines offered this.
Great food selection and fast service through the TSA.
I find it just as fast to walk from terminal A to Terminal B for rental car facility.
Apparently if you buy a ticket you can board something called a plane and go to interesting places - try it, you will be amazed.
SJC has a TSA precheck line! They just give you a scrap of paper to get into that line to the right of the main security line.
Tim SkellengerFebruary 19, 2014All food closed by 10:30 if not 10. Terminal B is nicer and you can stay in the airport over night now for lay overs
Don't wait in front of the terminal like all the other idiots. If you walk to the end, they've left you a nice open area for people to pick you up
1 Hour Express parking for picking up people is the best idea ever!!!!
The cut off time to check a bag is 40 mins-domestic, 60-international. To check in period is a 30 minute cut off to departure. And yes...there's a charge for a bag.
Terminals A and B are connected by a bridge. There is a lounge near that bridge.
Content MagazineDecember 18, 2011Enjoy the Natural Light. There are so many windows that during the day, you literally forget that there is overhead lighting.
Carmine GalloMarch 13, 2011If you're traveling to give a presentation, stop fiddling with slides and start rehearsing. More tips in the bestseller-The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs.
Ingdan LiSeptember 13, 2012Stop by Santa Cruz Winebar if you have some time. Good local wines from Santa Cruz Mountains nearby.
CarmenJune 28, 2018The shuttle to rental car agencies leaves from terminal B if you can figure out which that is
Other than Thanksgiving travel this airport is super easy getting in and out if A+
When boarding, hang on to the boarding pass for the connecting flight when you give the boarding pass for your first flight to the gate agent!!! LOL
Security line procedures have changed as of 03/25/22. Plan a little extra time to get through.
When using the kiosk for checking in or reprinting your boarding pass, just insert a credit card or your DL instead of inputting your confirmation number. Saves time.
Great little airport! Security is usually pretty fast here.
Traveling with Southwest? Check out the e-cloud: 1000s of switchable glass squares suspended from the ceiling that change from opaque to transparent w/the transmission of real-time weather data!
Economy lot 1 seems to always be full now. Have to park all the way down at lots 4 or 6 at Terminal B. A total pain in the ass.
It’s official: there is nothing noteworthy about this airport. Zero. It is as utilitarian as it gets for an airport that serves 40,000 people a day.
Dean HataApril 7, 2013Plan for possible long taxi line. Every now and then they have a delay in letting cabs in and there's a long line
Express parking outside Terminal B baggage claim is convenient for pick up. Pay for parking at the pay station for easier exit.
Mike FinnJune 7, 2013There are electrical power outlets at all the seats at the gates in the Southwest Terminal. No more Drop kicking the nice old lady trying to steal the last outlet to get your charge on.
Samuel BowlesAugust 30, 2014The car rental drop-off is a good distance from the terminal and requires a bus shuttle.
Douglas GrayJanuary 20, 2017One of the quietest airports I've been to. No TVs blasting CNN or sports.
Albert CJuly 3, 2012Remember some arm rests have USB and outlets for charging electronics. Best of all its free!
Did you arrange a shuttle ahead of time? Head for #10 (pre-arranged vehicle) NOT #2 (door to door shuttle).
Check out all the awesome seats in terminal B that have both USB & power outlets built right in!
