It’s easy to get from your BART stop to your next nonstop! With a station located in the International Terminal, BART offers a convenient option to access all flights from SFO. Simply ride the Yellow or Red line to SFO and you’ll be steps away from your international check-in counter or a quick walk to Harvey Milk Terminal 1 and Terminals 2 and 3. Or, from the SFO BART platform, head up one level to hop on the AirTrain, which makes stops at all terminals.

At SFO, you’ll find more than 50 airlines offering nonstop flights to 130+ destinations around the globe. With service spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, SFO has you covered with more choices to more destinations, more often. And, this spring, you’ll find some great new options as SFO welcomes Air Premia with service to Seoul (ICN), Breeze Airways adds service to Grand Junction (GJT), China Southern’s nonstop to Guangzhou (CAN) resumes, several carriers add new routes and seasonal carriers and destinations return. Learn about all destinations with nonstop service from SFO.

SFO is dedicated to making sure your world-class travel experience starts before your flight. Throughout the terminals you’ll find great shops and locally inspired dining, thought-provoking art and captivating museum exhibitions. Or, take in amazing views of the airfield, al fresco, from the SkyTerrace observation deck. Need a moment to relax or unwind before your flight? Stop by one of the yoga rooms or the Berman Reflection Room. Visit SFO’s Shop, Dine and Relax guide to help plan your next trip.
