I know there is construction at Terminal 1 which could be impacted operations, but still... I might be avoiding them for a while. Thoughts?
It's not just WN...see the Alaska forum for the thread on "Pre-planned diversions from SFO to OAK". It's an interesting read!
I recently flew WN from PHX to SFO on a clear weather day and the flight still arrived 35 minutes late (even though we left the gate in PHX ontime). On the return, the same thing happened. The inbound flight was supposed to arrive ontime, but ended up being 30 minutes late due to ATC.
Let's face it: SFO is a delay-prone airport.
