Maybe you just caught it at a good time. Like [MENTION=659374]Kacee[/MENTION] said, the UC's are overcrowded since the Polaris club construction. Oh and with winter coming around,
Karl will be making an almost daily appearance along with some rain. Then the magic happens.

SFO is a great airport. Could be better if the runways 28L & R were a bit more separated to allow them to operate in parallel during bad weather. Or if BART ran 24/7 into The City.
