Oakland International Airport

9 August 2022 arrival= Looks like a Southwest hub with only a very small handful of other airlines flights.

Cramped passenger area, not nearly enough room, weird assortment of bathrooms scattered around.

Most else looks pretty efficient. Car rental shuttle showed up within the ten minutes they advertise, driver could be a lot smoother with the brakes and gas...

Overall, this is a decent-good airport. It is convenient and all that, but the Terminal 1 check-in and gate area??? TERRIBLY DESIGNED. The check in area was smelly and didn’t even looked like an airport check in area. It looked like a subway station ticket area. So your flying any other airline then Southwest, you’ll have to fly out of terminal 1. On the other hand, if your flying Southwest. You will be flying out of terminal 2. Which is way better then terminal 1.

Much better place to fly than sfo if possible. Has very less crowd and lines are super fast. Even the staff is super friendly. Please fly from OAK if possible.

My favorite airport used to be San Jose, but when they stopped letting us exit onto the tarmac, that place suddenly became irrelevant in my eyes. Cue up Oakland. They usually have direct or one stop flights to wherever you want to go and getting here is a snap. The shuttle from BART works great but I typically drive. Even the parking is close and easy to use. Security is usually busy but manageable and the concourses are not overly big. SF gets all the attention but for those in the know, Oakland airport is a far better place to fly.

Love this airport because it's not crowded. Airport was neat and clean. Bathrooms also clean. TSA was quick and painless. The only reason for not getting 5 stars was there were no electrical outlets near our gate (15) to charge our devices.
