Half Moon Bay to Oakland airport

I will need to drive from Half Moon Bay to the Oakland airport about
9AM, Monday, Memorial Day holiday (May 31). I have checked various
mapping sites and the directions are quite different. Can anyone
suggest the best way to go? Thanks for any help.

At 9am on a holiday Monday it should be no problem using CA-92
all the way across the Bay and then I-880 north to the airport.
Certainly the most direct way.

Just try to make sure there hasn't been some stupid little
accident on 92 going over the coast mountains that gums it up for
hours. In that case you'll be forced to take CA-1 up to Pacifica,
then you have choices ...

.... Continue on 1 until I-280 and follow that north to US-101 and
then take that north to US-80 and the Bay bridge, thence south on
I-880 to OAK (it's simpler than it sounds) or

.... Continue on 1 until I-280 and I-280 south to I-380 to US-101
south to CA-92 and then across the Bay

.... In pacifica take Sharp Park Road east to I-280 then south on
280 to I-380, etc, or ...

.... Instead of I-380 continue south on I-280 to CA-92 and thence
east across the bay, etc.

But really, CA-92 should be fine since most of the traffic early
on a holiday morning is likely to be going *to* HMB.

CA 92 East to I-880 North, exit 98th Ave. in Oakland.

What other directions did you get?

Thanks for your helpful information.

Thanks for the information. Mapquest said your way, Hertz online said
to go to San Francisco and across Bay Bridge.

CA 92 can be real busy sometimes, part of it being one lane. So yes going
to SF is an alternative way, though not the fastest way.

I certainly owuldn't suggest using CA-92 on a work morning, but
on a holiday morning should be a snap. Of course, on a work
morning there is no good way to get out of HMB.

Dave Hatunen gave you good directions; as he said, 92 can get
backed up easily by an accident since it's two lanes. Listen to
AM stations KCBS 740 or KGO 810 for traffic reports before you
leave. Both give reports six times an hour and should mention
any major problem on 92.

KCBS actually gives more frequent traffic reports than KGO, where
they are to busy with talk radio a lot of the time, unless it's
changed a lot since I lived there. KGO is more interesting to
listen to, though.
