Arriving at the SFO airport, need a place to rest a few hours, ...........
Might be in a situation next week were i'll be arriving on a redeye at SFO approx 5:00 a.m. Checked luggage. NOT transferring to another flight. Want to get a couple of hours of rest before heading out of the airport. SFO has two arrivals lounges that we'd qualify for -- but they're listed as opening at 8:00. Lounges/other comfortable spots of course exist........... but i'm not keen on leaving our checked luggage to somehow get scooped up in baggage claim as "unclaimed;" even temporarily. Feeling stuck. Would appreciate any thoughts, thanks!

You could book a hotel the night before so you can check in early morning. There are lots of hotels around SFO.
This is what I do in most cities. That way you can really sleep.

Thanks. As of now really only looking for 2-3 hours. As i think about it, though, if we change our minds, this is a good option. Very familiar with SFO area.

Well, it turns out that I did not have to institute my Plan B, so didn't get in that early and had no trouble. thanks for everyone's suggestions.
