My destination is not SFO, but the inbound aircraft is currently scheduled to arrive from SFO. Airline could re-allocate, but let's see how everything develops.

The last two days in particular have been a disaster, with 1-2 hour delays for all airlines/all flights (sea of red on the monitors). Have started to fly Delta (horrors!) as well as United on the weekly SFO to BOS flights and all flights either sitting at gate or on runway for 1-2 hours trying to get out. The redeye delays in particular SFO-EWR or BOS are brutal right now with no slack. Going to take advice of others in the thread and start looking at connections to SJC to save my sanity until this is cleared up.
