San Francisco International Airport: Difference between revisions

===Long Term Parking===

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.

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.
