San Francisco International Airport

The San Francisco International Airport (a.k.a., SFO) is one of the major airports that provides service to people from Davis. While SMF is closer to Davis than SFO, the latter offers many more direct flight destinations.

Suggestions about the best and cheapest ways to get there from here (or here to there):

• Davis Airporter Takes you to and from anywhere in Davis directly to the airport. You may ride with other passengers.

• BART goes directly to SFO. The easiest BART parking is at the El Cerrito station.

• Avoid most traffic.
  

• Meet entertaining people.
  

• BART+Amtrak Capitol Corridor is another good idea. They share a station in Richmond, so transferring is a snap.
  

• Avoid all traffic
  

• No Tolls
  

• Some Amtraks have wireless internet. All trains have electrical plugs for laptops.
  

• Bathrooms
  

• They sell alcohol.
  

• NOTE: While the Capitol Corridor is VASTLY more on time than your usual Amtrak, sometimes other trains that share the track cause delays.
  

• The Amtrak leg of the trip is slightly more expensive than perhaps it could be. Remember your AAA discount. Also there's a student advantage discount possible, too.
  

Catch the BerkBus Shuttle to UC Berkeley. When you get to Berkeley, walk a block or so down/West on University Ave. Catch a left/South onto Shattuck Ave. Get on a BART train heading towards San Francisco. Unless you can catch a ride on a train straight to SFO, plan on waiting for a transfer at the Balboa Station in SF.
