Just landed — how to get into San Francisco
San Francisco International sits 13 miles south of the city, and the good news for arrivals is that BART runs from inside the terminal complex. The catch is the airport premium on the fare, no flat-rate taxi, and a rail system that closes at midnight and doesn't open until 8 am on Sundays.
Airlines move between terminals, so we don't publish a roster that could be a year stale — confirm yours on SFO's official airline list. All four terminals connect post-security, so you never have to clear security twice to change terminals.
