I didn't take a close close look recently, but I think you can walk out to the center island (hotel and parking shuttles) and walk landside that way - just have to be careful when crossing the roadway letting cars in/out between the terminal side and center island side.

From baggage claim, go down one level following signs for the parking garage https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0ed08072ac.jpg Keep going straight past the elevators. The sign post tells you which way to go (left for "lower" letters towards B, right for "higher" letters towards F -- I happened to be at F already here) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...418e36e655.jpg Follow the walkway. Look out for cars. When you reach your desired terminal, go back in and turn towards the terminal. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f0270a3622.jpg |

I like to walk around before flights, but here I think I'd just go up to the AirTrain and ride two stops.

That sounds like a joyless journey. I like to walk around before flights, but here I think I'd just go up to the AirTrain and ride two stops. Maybe walk over and explore the Harvey Milk Terminal after clearing security in International-A.

It doesn't help that SFO feels like one of the hottest airports temperature-wise I've ever traveled through.

I'm in/out of SFO at least 100 times a year and this is simply not true. I also wouldn't call F to C an unusually long walk considering how many gates you're traversing. Because of the radial design, SFO is more efficient than virtually any other airport for covering that kind of ground (putting aside the question why anyone would clear security at F for a flight departing from C).

It's a really cool airport to walk around, but it feels like such a long walk from, say, T3 TSA to the C gates. If I had to do it again, I would just go landside and take the AirTrain.
And the saved distance walking between E/F & D would be negated from the walk airside to/from the AirTrain stations. |

Unless something changed recently, that would be a one-stop AirTrain ride, since the C gates involves getting off at the T2 stop. The T2 stop itself is at the base of the D gate pier, and you'd have to walk from there to the C gates anyways.

Reaching out for a quick question - does anyone know if Delta has a baggage recheck at Terminal 1/A? Specifically i will be arriving at G gates on SQ 32 and on a separate ticket, connecting to DL F to SEA.
Scheduled arrival of 7.50am and DL flight at 10.20am, too risky? US National, no GE, no Pre and with checked bags. Thanks! Is it better to book 1.50pm flight and standby for 10:20am or book 10:20am and if I miss it, hope to get on 1:50pm flight? |
I have a roughly 1hour 50min transit time at SFO, morning flight from YYZ. then onboard noon filight with NH.
I guess with preclearance and baggage should be check through? 1.50hr should be enough unless the first seg delayed? Appriciate all the advice thanks. |

Preclearance as that thing thing do in DUB for US flights. Yeah, perfect. You'll just likely disembark into Int'G (assuming here) and just catch your NH (in Int'l G, if I recall) flight without having to deal with security. You'll have plenty of time, even to relax and have drink/meal in the lounge. PS - I've complained so much about those Amex chicken thighs, it might be some violation of TOS to keep harping about something a million times. |

Yeah, assuming your YYZ flight isn't delayed, you should be fine. Preclearance? You mean, GE, CLEAR or TSA Pre? Whether your check your bag through is a personal choice, but I'd probably hang on to it, assuming it's just a standard carryon roller.
