Check the BP for the ex-SFO flight that Qantas gives you to see if it says "Tsa Precheck".

If not, reprint the BP to pick up the designation.

I'm flying AS (Terminal A), but I'd like to use UA Club (have Club membership) if possible. Am I correct that this is impossible with AS boarding pass?

There's no way you can walk airside between A & T3 or between A & G, is there?

No way to walk airside, but you can clear security in any concourse at SFO with a BP departing any concourse.

Really? Did not know that.^ Thanks!

Yup. Some agents will try and steer you to the terminal for your BP, and just tell them you're here for the lounge. The T3 TSA all know that we're headed for the AX lounge. :D

I once got a lot of lip from the ticket checker (before TSA) challenging me on what lounge, it isn't in this terminal, and so on (I was going through Int'l G to get to 3). She finally relented. This only happened once.

I updated the wiki to reflect how the landslide walkway between International-A and Terminal 1 will be closed for years during the T1 redevelopment. This makes AirTrain the best choice in many situations where walking was previously the way to go.

Thanks for the update, otherwise I would've found myself frustrated and confused! I used to find it faster (and more enjoyable) walking from BART through International to Terminal 1, but looks like I'm taking the AirTrain now...

I completely forgot about this thread until I went down the escalator from Intl A today and was confronted by the closed doors :( AirTrain it is. Or the long way around if I want the extra steps :D

You may still wish to walk from BART to T1. It's only slightly longer to do that clockwise via T3 and T2. I walk outside on the sidewalk at the start of T3 as it's a little shorter and less congested.

Will be connecting through SFO to SYD originating in YVR. Arriving on AC to international G gates and departing international A gates. I understand that I will have to leave the secured area and go through security again. I have about 1 hour and 40 min. is this enough time?

My understanding is that Vancouver has CBP preclearance, so it's as if you're arriving on a domestic flight (though you will have to enter security again on the A-side of International). Preclearance helps a lot. Yes, I think that is sufficient time for a connection. Of course you'll face problems if you have a long delay, but were I in your situation, I would feel comfortable with my odds.

Anyone have an issue using the delta sky club at sfo for outbound klm flight? Have biz seat and Amex Plt card, but would rather stay at delta sky club than klm lounge (awful) or go to Amex crowded one. Thanks!

Just be aware that either of those choices will require you to exit and re-clear security to get to your flight, and if you go to the Delta Sky Club that the landside walkway between T1 and Intl-A is closed for renovations so you have to take the AirTrain.

Have you been to the AF-KLM lounge in International-A since the renovation? It's pretty nice. Nothing extraordinary, but nice enough that I wouldn't go to the trouble of an extra trip through security in another terminal.

I was last there in October. Has it changed since then?
