Or just avoid OAK altogether. Some co-workers in Oakland have found that they actuallly spend less time on the road if they just drive the extra distance and fly out of SFO or SJC vs sitting in traffic waiting to get in to OAK.</font>
Seriously. Last few times I had to go to OAK, it took me 35 minutes to the OAK sign, and 30 more minutes to get to parking lot or the terminal. This means that I now can make it to SMF in the same amount of time as it takes to get to OAK. I flew out of SMF a few weeks ago, and it was a real pleasure (and economy parking was only $7). The whole place reminded me of what OAK was like 4-5 years ago.
If you live in the North or East Bay, SMF may be a viable option.
