Flying in and out of SJC is less of a hassle compared to larger airports such as LAX, SFO, LAS, etc. In a nutshell, this airport needed a major uplift. Thanks to SJ for investing plenty of renovations, it looks absolutely nicer! I LOVE the new Terminal B!! Parking garage is larger, more vroom, vroom, vroom for cars to drive, pick up and drop off passengers for/from flights!!
TSA exceeded my expectations! If you do an early bird check in aka Southwest, AA, etc. You can just drop your luggage off quickly with the attendants and easily go through security lines that don't snake throughout the terminal area. You have enough time to enjoy hanging out at the airport's restaurants, mini bars, and shops.
Although, not much shopping here unless you consider stopping at The Hudson for a small read of their magazines. However, Peet's would be a good choice if you're still groggy for a morning flight. Grab a nice cup of coffee or tea! Unless you're off to Vegas or Miami, maybe a cocktail or beer at The Brit, while watching the news or sports while waiting for your flight, can make the time go by a lot quicker before partying it up in style!
Did I mention, they offer FREE WiFi? Yes! Of course, we're in the heart of Silicon Valley. Many tech companies in the Bay Area. For those who are always busy with work and on the go, don't fret my friends. While waiting for your flight, you can sit down with your laptop and plug it into a power outlet on the side of your seat!! How cool is that?!
Downside to SJC...ticket prices to fly in/out from here is a little bit steep as opposed to SFO or OAK but the extra dollars is worth the trip! Happy travels!
