SFO Connection
 

Will be arriving into SFO in November on AA looking at connecting to SEA on AS is 1 hour 20 minutes enough time?

It’ll depend on customs / immigration - I assume you fly into Sfo on a global flight.
if you miss the connection then you should just get assigned to another nonstop to SEA.

i don’t know if international pax can use nexus / GE or any other trusted traveler rights for Sfo international.

If you are indeed flying in on an international flight (AA codeshare on BA from London perhaps) then 1hr 20mins is not going to meet the minimum connection time (1hr 45 mins I believe) so you probably have either an invalid reservation or two tickets.

If you are flying domestic on both flights then the MCT is 50mins, so 80 mins ought to be enough, but it is a very long walk and then the airport light rail from Terminal A to Terminal 2 (last time I was there Terminal 1 still had no station) and then a security clearance at terminal 2.

If you are on separate tickets then this would seem to be a very dodgy connection – if you're on one ticket, then you should be rebooked on the next available flight.

Any checked bags? 1hr20min is probably going to work with no checked bags, but slow immigration might blow the deal. With checked bag and I'd call that 50/50, as that would add another risk of slow bag return.

Thanks for the reply’s but maybe I should of been a bit clearer. I’m coming in from LAX with just hand luggage as part of a longer trip and on separate tickets.

West coast flights are very sensitive to SFO weather. LAX-SFO flights are some of the first to be cancelled in bad weather. I would definitely try to put it one ticket (probably too late for that now, I know) so that you can go straight from LAX to Seattle if the weather is bad.

January and February are the real bad weather months in SFO, but I have had SFO-LAX flights cancelled many rimes due to weather in the October to April months.

At the very least know what your contingency plans might be.

1:20 should be ample time. You will have to clear security because T1 and T2 are not connected airside. Figure 15 minutes from the end of T1 (where all AA flights arrive) to T2 security. Anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes for T2 security. The gates are right there, T2 is very compact.

Kind of an odd routing. You can fly nonstop from LAX to SEA on AS, DL, UA, or AA. AS has like a dozen dailies.

it’s a long story but all part of a BA Tier point run to earn gold at the reduced threshold I’m starting from scratch so need each sector. Might just night stop at SFO and continue the next morning.

Flying PSP-SFO-FCO next month on UA, with 2 hours in SFO. Which terminal will I likely be arriving into, (It's a small Embraer 175). And then will I need a shuttle, or can walk airside to the International terminal? Won't need to do security at SFO, right? Thank you!

You'll likely come into E or F (slight chance of D) and can walk airside the entire way to G. Figure a brisk 15 minute walk at worst.

There is a slim chance Alaska will have moved over to T1 by November.

You're responding to a post from 2022.

And it will actually be quite surprising if the move does not happen this June, when the T1 south lobby opens.

LOL, Should get out the glasses and look at the dates once in a while. I would say June is ambitious since the last I saw, there was still a lot of interior space to complete . But I could be wrong.

Since this thread has taken a "date sensitive" turn ;), your post is worthless without knowing "when last you saw." I'm curious to see if the C pier will magically return to be part of T1 instead of T2. I'll be by there later this week, but I'll be on UBERview, probably in the center lanes until my UBERmobile turns in for my T2 check-in. (Why not LYFT? The $15 AX credit remains unspent, and the $10 AX LYFT credit has been March-exhausted!)

If you have a moment, please take a look at construction in part of B and the connector to C. IIRC, the hope is to be complete by the end of this year.
