    Always a ghost town. This airport is known for being one of the least utilized airports around. That makes it great to get in and out of!

    No more American Airlines Admiral's Club. The Club at SJC is the only lounge in the airport. It's really nice! $35/person to get in unless you have a Priority Pass, one of the perks of AmEx Platinum.

    Best food (and choices) is in Terminal B. If you have the time, just walk down to the higher numbered gates and you're there!

    SJC is one long strip of gates that are on only one side. It can be a long walk to get to and from your gate. Not great. People with mobility issues should be prepared. The area has outgrown SJC.

    Easy car rental access from airport building. The security lines can get long - makeuse of your TSA pre-check if you have it.

    This has to be the best airport in the US. It's super modern, spacious, and clean, which is a big fucking deal, LAX!

    The ceiling art between gates 19/20 is uhmazeing! The 'e-cloud' @ 22/23 is RAD! The Baron Von Munchausen creation outside security is excellent! The aquarium @ 24/25 is cool too! Well done new SJC! I

    There is an illy coffee bar in Terminal B (accessible from Terminal A) that makes a great proscuitto, tomato and basil sandwich as well as having the best coffee in the airport.

    Free Wi-Fi that actually works at Gate 12. Most of the time, I can never connect at other free Wi-Fi hot spots. The chairs by the wndow all have a power outlet to charge up the gadgets.

    I can get my bags, laptop, liquids, shoes, and metal accessories into the gray TSA trays in under 20 seconds, and you can too. I believe in you.

    Travel is a great excuse to clean out your purse! Getting rid of clutter in your carry-on bag will allow Transportation Security Officers to get a clear X-ray of your bag and save you time.

    Southwest gate agents aren’t online until 5 AM or so - plan accordingly when taking a redeye and get some more sleep.

    Pro Tip for Airline Pilots and Flight Crew, SJC currently does not offer KCM, Known Crew Member. SFO and LAX are the only airports in California that do offer KCM.

    Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the water bottle filler across from gates 24 & 25 is closed so the closest available ones are at gates 18 or 32.

    Really nice airport here but it’s a long walk without moving sidewalks if you go in the wrong entrance for your airline.

    One of the easiest airports to get through. Only burbank is easier. Just break out the walking shoes if flying Alaska or Southwest.

    Lots of people with lots of first world problems. if you can afford to fly - you are better off than 95% of the world. The FREE wifi is slow when I am sitting in my massage chair.
