CitySolveDecember 27, 2011Need a good, reliable & CHEAP shuttle? Call my man Kool. 925.200.0917 or 510.228.2702. He was $20 cheaper than any other door to door shuttle service I called.
Easy flying out… baggage claim coming back is usually hectic
The food situation is currently abysmal due to renovations.
Surprisingly efficient and uncrowded...almost empty!
Cheaper flights and more selections on Southwest than flying into SFO. Faster BART ride into SF too
Baggage claim is a complete disaster, two monitors for each carrousel with just ads no flight info. Good luck finding your bag!
Bring sanitizing towels with you here. They need to clean this place!
The shuttle to the car rental location is like Mr Toad's Wild Ride! Liability waiting to happen.
warning: you may need to remortgage your home to afford fenton's ice cream in the terminal
DoubleTree by HiltonSeptember 27, 2011Roll up before you roll out. Roll clothes to save room and prevent wrinkling. For more travel tips and fun, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!
Since Terminal 1 remodel, they lost the burrito place. So breakfast (at Chilis togo) stops at 10am. Plan accordingly if flying early.
They are re doing Terminal 1. It's an ugly mess. Maybe when it's done it will be nicer.
BEWARE!! "Eight Bar" across from Gate 9 does NOT give free refills on club soda -- but they won't tell you that until after they have refilled your glass. #RipOff
This place needs at least one decent bar. Seriously lacking on food and drink options.
Paulina SerranoNovember 3, 2016I don't like this airport but sometimes the schedule or time is better than SF airport.
Best airport in the Bay -- shorter lines, fewer delays, and often cheaper!
- There is a chilis in terminal 1 which connects after security to terminal 2 with less than a 3 minute stroll .... plus there is another people mover there! 11
Ryan PezerNovember 15, 2011Can be cheaper to fly into and taking the BART into the city is easy and effecient.
Get a pretzel from Auntie Annie's near Southwest gate 26. Ask for lots of yellow mustard! Yum!
Lana OlmerJanuary 3, 2014If you are flying Southwest, use the self-service kiosks by Security and then express bag drop to avoid the long lines at the full service desks.
Connie HaroJuly 7, 2014Pyramid taproom inside the airport? Flying into and out of oakland more often.
Here for NAR Annual? Be sure to stop by the Zillow booth and say howdy!
Homing TamSeptember 19, 2016One lane security line. Prepare 10-15 min if u don't have TSA pre check!
I'm pretty convinced Morgan Freeman does the SW intercom announcements in terminal 2. Seriously. Listen out for it... #OAK #southwest #terminal2
Chris MorrisJanuary 17, 2013The shuttle driver, Amin, from the terminal to the rental cars is awesome.
I love flying into Oakland because it means I'm home! :)
Kristin WolffNovember 1, 2011Don't worry about the long line at the ticket machines. Bus takes cash if you can scrounge up $3 (bus will not give change).
What’s with the third world lighting in the ticket counter area? Yeesh.
