I realize I may be barking up the wrong tree here, especially after living in Japan for 12 years. KIX and NRT have public showers for a nominal fee. Is there someplace in SFO that has the same thing?

I am not using a fare that allows United Arrivals and I have 5 1/2 hours in SFO before I head out. Of course, there is the "day rate" option at a hotel but those rates can be higher than speding the night.

Can anyone offer an idea?! Thank you

Hi there -


community board is for FT get togethers and the like...mightr try posting in Hilton or other hotel forum for day rates at SFO

Last fall I stopped in for a haircut at the salon in the SFO international terminal. The owner mentioned to me that she offers shower facilities; I don't remember the fee. Seemed like a good deal though.

The salon is located in the public area of the international terminal, north side main floor. It's kind of hidden on a balcony overlooking the escalators. I was in the terminal last month and she was still in business.

By the way, on the south side of the international terminal in the public area is a small SFO museum that traces the history of the airport. Next door to the museum is an airplane model store.

The fee at the barber/hair salon for the bathroom with shower was less than $15. They only problem is that there is no proper place to put your stuff in the bathroom without being creative.
