Airport San Jose CA -Terminal B

This is horrible… Do not fly American Airlines! The lines are ridiculous I may even miss my flight and the staff move slow as hell and are rude.

One of the things I like about this airport is its organized, well run, and not too large where it’s easy to get lost. However they lack the kick ass type of security (excuse my English) that El Al has at LAX. Pass their counter to understand the difference, if you happen to be there. Security forces are equipped with vests, multiple types of refillable ammunition equipment, in reachable places, all over their bodies, and they scan the crowd with sniper type vision. Just focus on one of their soldiers watching the crowd, and they immediately return your stare with an intensity that will cause you to anticipate the runs and the need to look away. Being questioned by any staff at the El Al terminal will have you mumbling in fear. Essentially they can weed out anyone suspicious. Going back to the San Jose airport, I am sure they are trained well, but the security is a little too nice. Security needs to cut out the cheerful chit chat when their jobs require to protect people. El Al Terminal at LAX works with a team of serious looking aggressive dogs non stop, and they also don’t discourage barking at certain people in the crowd. If anything, it alerts the soldiers to move in and question people. I saw one security dog at San Jose Airport, who was instructed to sniff people as they walked the winding maze walkway to the gate, something that a first grader would construct with the same efficiency. When the dog needed to relieve himself, he was taken outside with no replacement. We need to wake up as a society and understand that excellent security is about opening up dialogue with passengers and asking specific questions, not just sifting through their luggage. I did not see much dialogue at this airport. I guess they depend on secret cameras to stay in the politically correct lane however, thank you for keeping us safe, you do try hard.

Came here for a couple business trips. They have a separate lounge for breastfeeding mother’s with a plug. The place is clean and the rental car is convenient. The only thing is, it’s hard to find gas stations nearby in a hurry.

This airport is well supported by business travel and taxes. Very modern feel as everything is well oiled and maintained.
Premium lounges do exist for less than 35 dollars for day pass. However with flying Hawaiian airlines frequently they do not offer a platinum lounge unfortunately
First class check in line available and there is rather a short wait. Line designated only for first class passengers is a must!

We had some time to chill while waiting for our airplane in terminal B. It’s a freaking terminal and we can actually review it? Yup.
It’s an older one, but everything is easy to find. San Jose airport is not one of the biggest ones so almost everything is easy to find here.
So if you’re in the airport and in terminal B, you’re in good hands, unless you get lost really easily!

A smaller airport but easy to navigate and get around. I enjoyed my experience here much more than SFO or LAX. Will be flying from here again!

SJC is local to Silicon Valley and an alternate for the East Bay, but at a price both in dollars $$$ and time in the crowded area and distance to the Valleys east of the Bay !!! But sometimes it’s where you need to go to keep up with rat race we sometimes find ourselves on — so we grin and bear it — keep smiling !!!

Very modern, super clean this airport has a huge parking, Domestic flights. But no many food restaurants. Its ok I really don’t flight from here anyway but for all of does that do… Please eat before or prior to arrive this airport.
Hint… Use LYFT AND UBER OUTSIDE AIRPORT ITS ALOOOOT CHEAPER… A LOT.

American Staff needs to be sent for re-​training at this allegedly international airport. When there are two attendants and each of them takes in excess of 30 minutes to help someone, as the line grows exponentially, there are bound to be many unhappy passengers. Perhaps, someone could explain to American that moving significant problems to a supervisor could allow the rest of the people in line to be processed. While the attendants were giggling and chitty-​chatting with the problem passengers about 35 of us were fuming and barely made our flight. BTW– we were even flying FC.

The wing of this airport is newly updated and enjoy this. The restaurants are an okay selection and the wifi is free which is good to pass by the time. It is clean and comfortable too and have stations for your laptop needs. The parking is okay for short term if you want to pick up a friend.

Great airport. Easy access, not as busy, at least not this morning. Very clean and comfortable. Great option, even if it means a little drive to Monterey. I will go this one again.

I really like this Airport it has the of large airport but yet it is still small and it looks pretty clean to. Also the car rental place is really convenient and easy to find, but returning the car was a bit tricky. Also it has some character with big white robot looking thing just when you exit from the TSA area plenty small shops to choose from prices seem a little bit more than some of the other Airport’s.

It looks nice in here, well-​lit, cool restaurants and stores. Granted, all I did was exit my plane and walk through the terminal, but it looked like not a horrible place to get stuck (as far as terminals go).

I like the entire San Jose airport, and terminal A is also nice! Definitely a little older than some of the other ones, but it is still very nice. Also realized that all of the terminals are in fact connected, although the connection is through some small and somewhat odd corridors hence why I didn’t realize that you could wander around between them.
This will definitely come in handy in case I have some extra time to kill here!

Terminal A is the older terminal at SJC so naturally I can’t imagine why someone would think this is a 5-​star terminal. There are limited services, and the gates are fairly far away from each other or anything interesting you may want to eat /​drink.
Personally, they really should update Terminal A to be like Terminal B. At least give the waiters more services, more food, and more places to relax. The chairs are also very dirty and old.
This Terminal serves so many carriers, it’s due for an upgrade!

I LOVE San Jose Airport! Free Wifi — plugs in most of the seats, a few great bars and Security is always quick and efficient!
Usually not hard to find a spot by yourself near the gates… really can’t say anything bad about San Jose Airport!
