A real 21st Century airport! I travel all over the world and this just might be my favorite of all. Why? Let me list the reasons:
1. Security took just 5 minutes. I even used passbook on my iPhone with no problem.
2. Free high speed WiFi - I actually watched a couple of You Tube videos and FaceTimed my wife with no lag.
3. Power outlets at EVERY seat! I've been to many other airports where business folks are clustered around the few power outlets hoping to charge up their phones. No problems at SJC!
4. A decent coffee shop (Peets) that isn't Starbucks. Don't get me wrong, they have Starbucks too and it's fine, but I prefer other coffee shops.
5. Car rental across the street. With a passion, I hate arriving at an airport (usually late) and then having to go on a 20 minute bus ride to the rental car center. On the return trip it makes it even worse if you're running late. Why do airports do that? BWI and Denver have ridiculous long bus rides to/from the rental car center. Stupid and inconvenient. SJC, no problem to walk across the street!
All round, a great picture of what a modern airport should be.
