In terms of location, it's convenient to really anywhere in the SF/Peninsula/OAK/East Bay/SJ South Bay/Silicon Valley/Santa Cruz. This is partially because most of the time you can get through this airport fairly quickly compared to other airports. The city not investing in a people mover (or two) is utterly ridiculous and does a disservice to the city, Silicon Valley, and everyone who utilizes this supposedly high tech airport. So be prepared (possibly) for long terminal walks (exercise). Food and shopping selections are not great. I agree that the roadways/signage are ridiculous and poorly designed. It's nice that the terminals are new/updated, but there are some negatives (I won't get into with that). Public transportation to the airport is substandard. San Jose should do what Oakland is doing and at the least have an actual Light Rail (if not BART) connector train (spur line such as Ohlone/ Almaden) down Airport Parkway/Brokaw from First Street. First Street is fairly close to the airport, and so I can't imagine it would be that expensive ($120 Million or so?) Public transportation though doesn't generate parking revenue for the city you see. The one reason I like this airport, is that usually, it is low stress and efficient compared to most other airports. So getting from point A to Point B is usually relatively easy and hassle free. 3.5 Stars.
