- This is San Francisco International Airport-one of the largest and busiest in the world, with over 50 million passengers passing through every year. Now, it’s getting a massive $5 billion upgrade!
Say goodbye to long lines, crowded terminals, and that familiar travel stress, because SFO is raising the bar on comfort, efficiency, and style like never before.

Is it worth spending $5 billions on these improvements of the SFO?
r call SF garbageville due to tents and homeless.
yes
The T3 costing so much is weird, but better than lax spending 3b.
@@mikeanderson9266 The question is about the San Francisco airport, not the city.
@@mikeanderson9266 do you realize where homeless ppl come from? Yes many from Bay area but most homeless in SF come from other states as SF does not have heat and no snow.. it gets cold due to fog but bearable ... Many homeless ppl come from other states .. as those states do not help .. also in a population of almost 400 million sf only has roughly 5 to 7K homeless in a metro area of 10 million in bay area. SF is one the smallest cities in America so homelessness looks amplified
SFO has made the terminals quiet zones where you won't hear overhead music or announcements for gates on the other side of the concourse. They also have mood lighting which makes the terminals feel more like hotel lobbies instead of Walmarts.
Thats nice👍
One of the best things about SFO is parallel landings. First time i ever watched that spectacle was on a flight where i was really confused/scared why a 2nd airline was so "close" same altitude and landing at the same time. I thought it must be an error or emergency...but my god when both the planes landed together it was just magical. SFO is only a handful of airports capable of parallel landings and you can see them everyday driving on highway 101. I am glad they upgrading the airport, it was never outdated but def needs some upgrades and quicker security check lines, along with additional access roads to the airport at peak times as traffic backs up significantly..... Billion times better than LAX thought even LAX is going through a major overhaul before the next Fifa/Olympics comes to LA and the rest of the west coast. Good video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍
There are two features of SFO that I especially appreciate:
[1] The restaurants in the airport are all locally run and operated. You're not going to find the national junk food chains there.
[2] SFO is the only airport in the world that is credentialed as a museum. The SFO Museum has a large combination of permanent and rotating exhibitions, with a staff of curators working full-time.
Good points!
The restaurants really capture the food culture of SF before you even leave the airport, good point!
I also love the quiet zones
So smart... Thinking abut a quite low stress environment. Well done SFO.
Indeed!
SFO is the Winchester Mystery Airport. I’ve lived in the Bay Area all my life - I’m 63 - and I have never seen SFO not under construction.
Ongoing project yes😁
The F terminal needs it, especially the area they are working. Those are probably the oldest gates in the airport. I flew into SFO a few weeks ago as its my home airport. I got to walk the temporary walkway and there's some good views of the planes lined up at the G gates. I will miss the bouncy moving walkway. Looking forward to seeing the improvements!
👍👍
I laughed so hard at "The place is so comfortable you'd wish your flight was delayed."
😂😂😂
My ex once worked in the Noise Abatement Department of SFO in the 1980s. The department set up microphones in the neighboring communities to track and report aircraft noise as they take off.
SFO is closer to Hawaii than LAX!
I came here to say the same thing!
🤩
Dont forget the moment you walk into the terminal especially at courtyard A where all the international flights are, there are homeless people inside and out and they do steal your luggage’s too if you’re not paying attention even more worst if you’re in terminal 1-2 domestic at the ground floor. Just y’all know to anyone who does not notice or never been to SF.
😳
Tbh I see so much room for expansion if SFO needs it.
😁👍
Access to Uber/lift should be closer to many arrival gates.
Yupp
It needs more walkalator between terminals.
Maybe it will come
Actually San Francisco is closer to Hawaii than Los Angeles
Huh?
@@Kevindevin7 Rafi is correct. SFO is slightly closer to Hawaii than LAX is.
🙌
@@fixpacifica how? LAX is 350 miles and an hour flight away. When Hawaii is literally a 5.5 hour flight and 2,350 miles away.
@@RafiCamacho I think your sentence structure might be off here, which is causing my confusion.
Nice overview however, what’s missing is the most important upgrade that SFO refuses to do - new, safe, expanded, runways for all weather take off and departures. Negligence on part of SFO. All this remodel will do is make nicer place for people to sit and wait for their delayed flights due to the clouds over SFO. That is the main upgrade needed.
Hi and thanks👍
It's not that SFO doesn't want to expand their runways, it was the environmentalists filing lawsuits every time SFO trying to do it.
@@xraymind Well aware as I was actively advocating for new runways in the late 90's ,early 2000s. It will take the Federal Government stepping in to force them to do it. I love SFO, however, until then (new runways) we will continue to have a major safety risk and continued delays.
Its San Francisco. It will take decades to start and finish up any civil engineering project and when done, the cost over runs will be unpalatable. You want to see mind blowing airport? go to Singapore, Japan, Bangkok, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, etc. Look at that totally new, huge, modern international airport they are building in the Philippines! When done, it will handle over 100 million passengers, it will be bigger than New York's JFK, Dubai's, and Beijing international airport.
Agree👍
Don’t forget SFO is a motel for homeless people.
What will the upgrades look like? Not really discussed.
The logic in this video is ridiculous
🫶
My 10 year call SF garbageville due to tents and homeless.
You already sad this. What is the point? You own LAX? Why are you dizzying on SFO?
😳
😳
While all the bums crap in the streets outside of the airport.
:(
Clearly you haven’t been to sfo.
The fact that sfo is clean and farther out from the city yet ur afk lax born ass wants to argue.
obviously never been there
There are no homeless outside of the airport.
