What airport should I fly into?

There are three airports in the bay area, any of them work but some are closer to Pleasanton than others.

1) San Francisco Bay Area Oakland International Airport (OAK)

This airport is the closest to Pleasanton, located in the east bay. It connects to our metro system (BART) through a separate tram. May be more difficult to fly into for international travelers. It also may be more difficult to find non-stop flights to Oakland. Good option if you're looking to fly southwest airlines.

2) San José Mineta International Airport (SJC)

This is the second closest airport to Pleasanton located in the south bay/Silicon Valley. This airport does not connect to BART but may be worthwhile if you wanted to spend extra time in the south bay before coming to the wedding or if there are cheaper flights into the south bay. Keep in mind traffic is bad in this area so if you fly in or out during rush hour expect delays getting to or from the airport.

3) San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

This is the furthest airport from Pleasanton but closest to San Francisco proper. It’s about 1-1.5-hour drive from Pleasanton but can go up to 2-2.5 with traffic. This airport connects directly to BART. This is a good option for international travelers or for people who want to stay in the city before/after the wedding.
