There are two lounges called The Club at SJC, both of them located in Terminal A. one of them is by Gate A8 and the other by Gate A15. Day passes can be booked online for a place to unwind and relax and catch some spectacular views of the area while you wait for your flight.
The best places to eat in SJC depend on whether you are in a hurry or have more time to spare. For the former, you can grab a coffee and pastry from a Starbucks located in either Terminal (by Gates 6 and 13 in Terminal 1 or Gates 22 and 25 in Terminal 2) or a bagel from Einstein’s Broos by Gate 10 in Terminal A. For the latter, we recommend any meal at Beer Union if you are in Terminal A (by Gate 14) or Smashburger in Terminal B (by Gate 22) for a burger and shake.
The Caltrain is the best public transport option to get from SJC to San Francisco, avoiding traffic and expensive rideshares to the main city which is just 33 miles away. However, the fastest way to get to San Francisco if you have limited time is by driving, either by renting a car or via rideshare. A third option is the airport shuttle, but this option needs to be booked ahead of time.
If you are trying to go to San Francisco, SJC is a great, sometimes cheaper option than SFO especially if you are staying in the southern part of the city. In addition, the airport serves Silicone Valley to the north and Santa Cruz, Monterey, or Carmel further south.

Comfort+ on delta was excellent room for a 6’4” male. No one issues. Staff was great. Flight was bumpy but the pilot did everything he could to make it comfortable. Internet went out half way through the flight. I am glad I didn’t pay for it. But that was a huge issue for users.
Spirit Airlines once again earns their poor reputation with multiple flight delays, incomprehensible voice announcements, rude and churlish flight attendants, and not even a mini bag of pretzels for customers.
