I'd say for dommercial jets Oakland is easier.. parking is cheaper and you can park closer to the terminal complex... If you're the Pilot.... then Hollister airport is a bit south of the main bay traffic though above you will be jets that Oakland center is sequencing for aproach into San Jose and San Francisco..... Don't tell me you flew into Hollister to visit the Bay Area. There a couple dozen general aviation airports closer to San Francisco than Hollister. |

BART will quickly get you from OAK to San Francisco or SFO. You can transfer from BART to Caltrain to get down to San Jose. The main advantage of SFO over OAK is that there are many more flights to/from SFO, especially internationally. CalTrain can get you to San Jose, but it can't get you anywhere near the airport. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
