Flying into Oakland info..

[Guest guest]

A few days/weeks ago, some information was posted about flying into Oakland

and getting to the hotel in SFO. Is this going to be a hassle? Can someone

re-post the info, please?

Thanks

Just in case anyone else needs it:

San Francisco International Airport is less than 5 miles from the

Hyatt, and complimentary shuttle service will be provided to and from

the hotel.

Oakland International Airport is approximately 30 -45 minutes from

the Hyatt, depending on the time of day.

If you are flying in via Southwest Airlines, Oakland is your only

option, as Southwest does not fly into San Francisco.

Here is a listing of options if you are flying into Oakland.

Option 1: A-1 Shuttle Service can transport you to the Burlingame

Hyatt from the Oakland International Airport. Reservations must be

made in advance by calling (toll free) 1-888-698-2663. It’s

important to let them know if you have a scooter or wheelchair. Fees

will be based on the number of people in your

party.

Option 2: From Oakland International, catch the AirBart Shuttle to the

nearby BART station. Take BART to the San Francisco International

Airport. From there the Marriott/Hyatt shuttle will pick you up

curbside at the International Terminal and bring you to the Hyatt.

Option 3: Cab Service: Cabs can be picked up outside the Baggage

Claim area.

Oakland is a very easy and accessible airport, and getting to the SFO Hyatt is

not that difficult. The Air BART shuttle costs about $2 and is

wheelchair/scooter accessible. It will take you from the Oakland airport to the

BART station. From there you take BART to SFO airport. BART will cost you

about 5 bucks. The BART station at SFO is only about 100 yards from the Hyatt

shuttle bus stop. The Hyatt shuttle is free.

So for about $7 you can get from the Oakland airport to the Hyatt. It will take

you over an hour, though. Cabs and other shuttles will be far more expensive.

Southwest does fly to San as well (25 miles south of Burlingame), but you'd

have to take a cab to get to the hotel (unless you've got friends to pick you

up, which is what I do). So, if you're flying Southwest, and are willing to

travel via cheap public transportation, Oakland is your best bet. If you are

planning to rent a car, go through San . If you are not flying Southwest,

go to SFO.

I though I'd post just to let you know my personal experience with

Oakland airport. I hate to travel and was stressed! But when I got to

the airport I came outside and found a Bart shuttle immediately (4 or 5

dollars, I think, that included the Bart fare) which took me right to

the Bart (a train) across from the Oakland baseball stadium and I had a

nice relaxing train ride into town, about 30 minutes if I recall

correctly. I thought it would be a hassle but it was very easy and

pleasant. I didn't notice if it was handicapped accessible but from the

posts I read here I understand it is.
