Welcome to San Francisco International Airport, the largest airport in Northern California and second busiest in the entire state, after LAX. Commonly referred to as “SFO,” this international airport is a major gateway for European and Asian flights. It spans across 13 miles of San Francisco bay, and hosts numerous shops, eateries, and places you don’t want to miss. As an extremely large airport, you can easily lose your way or end up in a completely different terminal than the one you need to be in. Avoid getting lost in the crowded corridors and instead follow our guide on which spots to hit when passing through. We’ve also mentioned some essential gadgets throughout to make your journey more convenient, all of which can be found at the nearest InMotion store. Check them out now!

The Aviation Museum and Library

In the mood for a history lesson to break up your trip? Located in International Terminal is the San Francisco Airport Commission Aviation Library and Louis A. Turpen Aviation Museum. Take a walk through time as you learn about the history of commercial aviation and how it affects us every day. The museum is modeled as a 1930’s passenger lobby. The many exhibits, educational programs, and other services are available to the public for zero charge. Walk around, read about some history, then relax on the benches and just observe. For a more comfortable seating arrangement, bring along your Cabeau Evolution Pillow, the perfect neck perch that you can use both now and on the plane ride. Then lean back, relax, and enjoy the view of the ancient planes up above!
