Quite. As a resident of the South Bay it has been great for the last couple of years to be able to land back at SJC (HBO only) and be walking in the front door to see the wife and kids within 40 minutes. My PB was 27mins from touch down to home.

I haven’t been through SJC since shelter in place so I’m not sure if the work that they needed to accommodate the 744 has even restarted since the local authorities allowed construction to start up again- I doubt it.

I’m now grateful that last year one of my SJC flights was canceled and I got one last flight on the queen of the skies into LHR from SFO. Sad I didn’t realize at the time it would be my last ever 747 flight.

I’d be pretty surprised if the SJC route lasts. It’s not like they can rely on corporates. It was great whilst it lasted but now it’s back to long lines at SFO though may try out a one stop via SEA now that AS is accelerating its One Worls joining date.
