    At Oakland Airport the Economy Parking is the worst. They have terrible spacing between shuttles, two come together and then none for 20 minutes.

    A good alternative to SFO for direct flights to London Gatwick. Offered by both British And Norwegian Airways.

    Take lyft or a van service. Taking Bart to this airport can be a harrowing experience. This airport is in an armpit of the Bay Area.
