San Francisco International Airport

San Francisco International Airport is Certified as a 3-Star Airport for facilities, terminal comfort and cleanliness, shopping, food & beverages, staff service, and security / immigration.

“There are a number of improvements ongoing at San Francisco Airport, including the new Harvey Milk Terminal. However, for the majority of passengers, the experience remains poor, with transfer convenience and staff attitude being rated as particularly poor. Connection ease is greatly affected by the often inadequate staffing of immigration, customs and security.”
