    I'm in the architectural / engineering space. I've done a number of projects for SFO. To me, the difference comes from the top. When we work for SFO, their instruction to their consultant is always, "Bring your 'A' game!" The management there genuinely cares about building and maintaining an airport that can best serve the passengers. Even though they are government employees, they have none of the typical DMV vibe.

      The 2 airports on top of my list are Dubai and the new Istanbul airport, so much spaces. The Dubai airport has comfy long lounge chairs for long layover, there's even a sleeping section with deem lights. Even Paris CDG offered a long layover section with lots of comfy sofa with charging station, a paid shower service at the airport hotel. They finally had English speaking volunteers to guide visitors while I stopover for 10 hours in June 2019.

      @@___beyondhorizon4664 thanks for sharing about the airports in Dubai and Istanbul! I have not been to either. Of course, they are oranges compared to SFO's apple; i.e. it's difficult to compare American public facilities (and public works projects that build these public facilities) to those in countries like Dubai and Turkey (and Communist China, for example). In those places, the government can nearly do whatever they want with no political obstacles.

    @gettyyoung46 ปีที่แล้ว +80

    SFO is ideal size for me. Big enough to attract major airlines to generate competitive fare (at least for international flights). But not too big like ATL and ORD, too busy like JFK and NEW, too spread out like DAL, too cramped like CLT, or too worn out like DTW (don't know if it got renovated but I remember buckets around the waiting area to catch rainwater). That said, when I go overseas, I avoid connecting within the US. It is not a pleasant experience to fly within the US or be sitting in a US airport.

    The US is horrible for connecting international flights.

Most countries allow going from one plane to the other without the hassle and wasting tons of time in lines.

    Flying out of SFO during the pandemic was wild...It was so quiet and empty like walking in an art gallery or museum.

    So happy my home airport is getting recognition - it’s well deserved. I rarely have issues there.

    Quiet airport is such a brilliant feature. Feels like fewer and fewer people rely on announcements to get to where they should be going anyway nowadays.

      90% of the time I couldn't even understand what the announcement is saying. Not to mention most people have earphone/headphone all all the time nowadays.

    I'll definitely fly through SFO more if they offer sparkling water.

      Really? You'd just go there for something you could pick up in a bottle? Surely the taxi to SFO makes up for what you save on water xD

    When I came back from Asia in September 2022, unfortunately I still had to exit the international terminal to go though security again for my domestic connection. I will really look forward to the day when that won’t be necessary.

    Funny, I fly out of SFO, particularly Terminal 1, during and after remodeling. I always loved it but now I really am thankful my home airport is my favorite and the smoothest

    I think one thing that is truly unique about the airport that I love is the art exhibit and the museum

    I love most everything about the new Terminal 1, except for the automatic x-ray machines. These automatic x-ray machines operate way too slowly and completely slow down the line.

    Good restaurants and 24/7 service. People with late night flights also gets hungry.

    As an employee The bag system is the worse Just ask the passengers. It’s takes the passengers an hour and 15 mins to get their bag once the plane is parked. The baggage system is always jammed. The baggage system is the worse at Harvey terminal This video or the directors are a lie LoL

    We haven’t visit SFO for over two decades now. Last time we flew to SFO in summer 2002. I remember that day. That was so long time ago.

    Airports are only starting to implement the idea of planning foot traffic to reduce congestion. The reduced noise and encouragement to use earphones is a great idea. I wished that when it came to boarding, that airlines board in a more orderly fashion and have passenger sat in sections prior to boarding so there isn't a mad rush and eliminates the delay on the airplane when putting luggage in the overhead compartments.
