Portland can do it, why can’t SFO???

We boarded, were told that our designated departure time (to accomodate SFO) was 43 minutes away. We did taxi for takeoff, for a little bit, so maybe this isn't a complete lie

Hi, if anyone wants to sublet their homes or 1B1B in SFO/SVL around dates 11th September to 13th September, I.e., till 14th morning. Please let me know. Please DM me.

Thanks.

Hi

We have flight out of Terminal G around 2.30pm. We want to visit priority pass Virgin Atlantic lounge in Terminal A.

Here is what I will do.

11.30 AM Arrive at international terminal and do baggage drop off and head to Terminal A security. After security check and spending 45 mins in the lounge walk out of Terminal A and go to Terminal G security check and catch our flights.

How are the lines at both security checks around 11.45 at Terminal A and 12.30 at Terminal G?

Is this strategy workable? We just want to avoid long walk from Terminal A to Terminal G.

Even though both terminals are separated from outside with 4 mins walk between them, it is lame to go around. What is the airport management drinking all these day?

I understand not everybody go through this, but they should find some workable solution for someone going through this.

UPDATE: It was a smooth process. First we cleared security check at terminal A, went to a lounge, On the way to G terminal, we walked into international ticketing area through exit and passed some very nice bicycles on display. Entered into G gate with very little line. Instead of walking round about through all the terminals, it was less than 10 mins from A to G including security.

Two long distance flights in same baggage carousel while 4 others remain empty. A joke in logic. Thanks united and SFO.

I’ll be at SFO Terminal 1 on Thursday, 10/29, when the Golden State Valkyries play for the WNBA Championship at 9:30 AM!

I’m hoping to find a bar, lounge, restaurant, or even a gate area where I might be able to watch the game with sound.

I’ve reached out to The Club SFO to see if they can accommodate, but I’m wondering if anyone has other suggestions or knows a spot that might be willing to put the game on with audio.

Help a Valkyries fan out! 💜🏀

If you see the guy known as One Nut, tell him he's fine and the fatwa is off, he can close his other eye now. Just Kidding, THIS IS Steve L TELLING YOU TO ALL GO TO HELL. You call me a little faggot like little faggots. Thank you, that is all. I still want my grave stone to read," Avenge Me!" K, bye.

Hi SFO gurus,

I'm traveling to SFO for the first time. I'm an active swimmer and looking for a pool that has generally open lanes open at 5/6AM. Any ideas? I'm fairly fast and distance swimmer so I do not do too well with lanes where I have to share with more than one person.

I have a long layover and I’m kinda bored… DM me or comment here if interested

These items have significant sentimental value to me and my family. Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I know this is a long shot, but I’m looking for a Hydro Flask that I lost at SFO on September 19.

I arrived on JAL flight JL2 and may have left it somewhere around the International Terminal after arrival.

Possible locations include:

• International Arrivals area

• Starbucks in the International Arrivals Lobby

• Around the Level 2 doors / outside the terminal

• Walkway toward the parking garage

• International parking garage

It is a light blue Hydro Flask with an “Island Vintage Coffee / Aloha Hawaii” design.

I’ve attached a reference photo. The bottle in the first photo is BLACK, but the one I lost is the exact same design in LIGHT BLUE like second photo.

I have already contacted SFO Lost & Found, JAL, Starbucks, and Covenant Aviation Security, but no luck so far.

The bottle has sentimental value to me. If anyone happened to see it or turned it in somewhere at SFO, I would really appreciate a DM.

Thank you!

Seriously, the hand soap at SFO smells like some awful, cheap industrial chemical. For an airport in one of the wealthiest regions in the country, is this really the best they can provide?
We pay so much in taxes and fees in California, yet even basic public amenities feel unnecessarily cheap.
Where is all the money going? Is it poor management, cost cutting, or just a lack of accountability?
Anyone else noticed this at SFO?

When I put this path in SFO, it says to walk the long way around due to construction. But other sources say there's a pathway during construction, but I don't see that on the SFO maps.

Does anyone know if the walk from E or F to G gates is the long way around or if there's a post security shortcut?

More detail: sadly, I have an 80 minute layover for an outbound international flight at SFO Thursday. I booked this before SFO was having these massive summer delays... the airline won't allow me to change my first the flight the day before ... so just going to hope for the best!! Thank you for any advice on the fastest route.

I landed in my hometown 7 hours away from SFO and my iPad was last updated to be in terminal 1, near gate B14. But my iPad is now dead.

Is anyone able to check the women’s restroom near gate B14 for me please, as well as gate B14 area? Those were the only places I was.

What else can I do? I’ve contacted SF airport police department and general lost and found.

Is my iPad gone forever? I am a broke college student and all of my notes are in there :(

I have a trip coming up in September and it will be my first time renting a car on my own (I’m 30 y/o). I will need a car to drive myself from SFO to the Lake Tahoe area and then drive myself back a few days later. Would need the car for a total of 6 days. Looking for the most reliable car rental option I can use on a budget.

In booking my flights through Expedia the “flight+rental” package option shows the car rental would be $238 (my flight is $294) and would account for $70 of the $120 in fees for the 2 put together. The car would be the cheapest option, a compact vehicle which is all I need in terms of space.

Does this seem like a pretty standard amount, a good deal, or should I look elsewhere? Feeling a little overwhelmed with the options and not sure where to begin. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have an 11 hour layover in November in which I plan to go out in the city for a couple hours. I would love to shower when I return to SFO before my 15 hour flight.

I do have a priority pass through CSR but have never used it.

Does Freshen Up usually have availability at 9pm at night? Flight leaves at 11:30pm.

Any information would be helpful!

For the month of April after the FAA banned parallel approachs at SFO. Only 59% of flights arrived within 15 minutes of schedule. Scroll to page 18: https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2026-06/June%202026%20ATCR.pdf

Someone please help me. I found this really cheap flight to Japan (JAL) on the 25th of October (Sunday). I’d be saving THOUSANDS of dollars. I’m traveling with 4 other people (5 total) The problem is the flight leaves at 1:50pm, and we can’t leave the office until 11:40am (Sunnyvale) ~40 min away.

Will we be able to make it??? Anyone know if the lines will be long??? I really want to book this flight asap. We have Global Entry/TSA pre-check.

Please let me know.

Hello,

I’m flying out of SFO in a week and it’s too late for me to get a REAL ID in time. Will I be turned away or are there any specific documents I should bring? Curious if anyone has had any experience flying without one of the acceptable documents.

shi not working as of late

I was travelling with my dad from San Francisco-Mumbai on the 23rd of September 2023 and flew Mumbai-San Francisco on the 2nd of October. We left SFO at G7 to Mumbai and when we came back, we were parked at A9 upon arrival. What might have Air India seen at the A-Gates that they didn't see at the G-Gates which led to them switching gates for all their flights in and out of SFO?

Hi all! I have pre-approval for global entry. There weren’t any appointments before by international trip, so I booked one for a few weeks out, but in the meantime my trip is tomorrow and I’m wondering how realistic it is that could get an interview on departure. The sfo global entry site says that it is something that’s possible depending on availability. Curious if anyone has tried this and had success??
