"Easy" SF Bay Area airport
What airport near San Francisco (say, max 50 miles) is easy for
national air journeys, meaning not many queues etc. Maybe Oakland? Anything else? Thanks |

Thanks It depends on when you're flying and where you're leaving from. If you are _in_ the city of San Francisco SFO is an easier airport to fly in and out of than Oakland, unless you're leaving or arriving late at night or on a weekend. |

Thanks The only thing you should worry about is there in the Bay Area you're coming from/going to. The hassle of going to an inconveniently located airport will outweigh anything that could possibly happen at the airport itself. If you're in downtown SF, it's marginally faster to get to SFO (San Francisco International) than OAK (Oakland), even though Oakland is closer. This is because BART goes directly to SFO but you need a shuttle bus to get to OAK. Or, if you're driving, it's because bridge traffic is often a pain. But in this particular case the difference in travel time/hassle is small enough that I'd let price or schedule be the determining factor. miguel -- Hit The Road!

It may be the 'only thing' YOU'd worry about but it certainly isn't the only thing everyone worries about. Some people can't stand large crowds, long lines (queues), etc and would gladly drive further to avoid it. You really should consider that using 'only' and 'anything'. |

In fact SFO being a much larger airport, sometimes appears less crowded than OAK. You really should consider that using 'only' and 'anything'. |

Practically yes. At least you didn't say all. In fact SFO being a much larger airport, sometimes appears less crowded than OAK. And San Jose is even less crowded. Car rental is less crowded as well.

I'm going to stand by my statement. If someone would prefer to drive 90 minutes to avoid a 20-minute queue in the airport, then they are irrational. This same irrationality is going to affect them time and time again throughout life, and I'm not here to provide their coping mechanism; they'll have to develop that on their own. miguel -- Hit The Road!

I'm going to stand by my statement. Which is not at all surprising, given your other posts. If someone would prefer to drive 90 minutes to avoid a 20-minute queue in the airport, then they are irrational. It's not 90. Hasn't been for years. That said, some people would drive for THREE hours to ovoid a 20 minute queue. It's irrational to you because your view is too narrow. The point is, your use of absolutes is misplaced. For instance, it would be unfair to say 'All people named Miguel Cruz are assholes and anything they say should be discarded'. It would be fair to say that you, Miguel Cruz, are an asshole and just about anything you say should be discarded. See the difference? Bet not. This same irrationality is going to affect them time and time again throughout life, and I'm not here to provide their coping mechanism; So then why answer? they'll have to develop that on their own. So you're a jerk too. Noted. |
