San Francisco International (SFO) functions as the region’s primary international gateway and a major West Coast hub for full-service carriers, while San Jose (SJC) and Oakland (OAK) typically serve more domestic and low-cost routes. SFO usually hosts the largest selection of long-haul flights and global alliances; OAK can be a budget-friendly alternative with several low-cost carriers, and SJC often appeals to Silicon Valley–bound travelers. SFO sits about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco, reachable by BART (roughly 30–45 minutes, fares typically moderate) or airport buses and taxis (30–60 minutes, higher fares). Pros: wide route choice and full services at SFO; cons: possible longer transfer times and occasional congestion compared with smaller nearby airports.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub, serving major global carriers and acting as a key transfer point for long-haul and European flights; low-cost airlines also use secondary terminals. It’s located about 12–15 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) southwest of the city center, with frequent regional and long-distance trains (S-Bahn/ICE) connecting the airport to central Frankfurt—expect travel times around 10–20 minutes and fares in the moderate range. Taxis and ride-shares can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, at higher cost, while shuttle and bus options are available for budget-conscious travelers. Pros: extensive connections, comprehensive services and shopping; cons: large size can mean longer transfers and occasionally busy terminals.
