-The new long term parking lot (operated by SFO) is near the north end of 10/28.  It offers good side views of heavy departures off the 28's.  As you will be facing southwest, the lighting is best in the morning.  This location is a long distance from the rotation point, but heavy aircraft will be very close when they're putting their gear up.  With good binoculars or telephoto, it also offers a good overview of the north side of the airfield, including the United maintenance hangars and the cargo ramp.
+SFO's relatively new long term parking lot is near the north end of the 28/10 runways.  It offers good side views of heavy departures off the 28's.  As you will be facing southwest, the lighting is best in the morning, the afternoon will be very backlit.  This location is a long distance from the rotation point, but heavy aircraft will be very close when they're putting their gear up.  With good binoculars or a long telephoto camera lens, it also offers a good overview of the north side of the airfield, including the United maintenance hangars and the cargo ramp.

+Although the roof is covered in security cameras, the turret-style stairway is notably lacking. Being chased away by security in this spot is rare. If you feel guilty, park in the lot and pay the fee.

-Although the roof is covered in security cameras, the turret-style stairway is notably lacking.  Being chased away by security in this blind spot is rare.  If you feel guilty, park in the lot and pay the fee -- it is only a few dollars for an afternoon.
+If you are traveling by BART, get off at the SFO BART station, and catch the SFO AirTrain. They run at a four minute frequency and the parking lot has its own dedicated AirTrain station to get off at.
-If you are traveling by air or BART, go to the arrivals level at SFO and board a free SFO long term parking bus.  They run at a five minute frequency and they will drop you off right where you need to be.  Use the same bus to return.
