San Francisco is served by
two airports, the Oakland Airport and the San Francisco
International Airport.
Oakland International
Airport
You can get to the Oakland Airport by taking Hwy 880 North,
follow the exit signs on 98th or Hegenberger to the airport
entrance. From Hwy 880 South, use the Hegenberger Road Exit.

One of the nicest
features of the San Francisco International Airport are the
information booths that are staffed by friendly and helpful
people. Five booths, which are staffed between
the hours of 8:00 AM and 12 midnight, are located in the baggage
claim area of the terminal complex.
Multi-lingual agents provide information on ground
transportation, Airport facilities and
services, Bay Area lodging accommodations and cultural events.
The booths are also
equipped with ATT Language Line capability for translation of
over 160 languages. The booths sell transit
"passports" to visitors, which provide discount
transit fares within the City of San
Francisco. The booths currently provide information to about
8,000 daily passengers.
A taxi from San Francisco
International Airport to downtown San Francisco will cost around
$30.
