SJC may not seem like the fanciest, most accommodating-to-all (or whatever) airport - but it gets it right in core areas. Personally, even living in SF I prefer flying out of this airport. Always ease of access (depart/arrival lanes) and security is very efficient. Rarely wait in long lines or for very long through security, while the process seemed to remain very effective. Always make my flight, easily get home without long baggage claim waits. Lots of stores fulfilling a surprising number of needs inside and easily found without twists or turns or shuttles. Often times I will step out from security and be nearby my gate within just a few minutes. Seems to me this stuff is really what matters in an airport.
