Three airports serve the San Francisco Bay Area, OAK, San Francisco International (SFO), and San Jose Airport (SJC). Of the three, OAK is the go-to airport for most people because of several reasons. First, it is the closest airport to downtown Oakland, and being an international airport, you can get flights to many local and international destinations. It is also the most accessible, as most people find a connecting flight better than dealing with the traffic on the Bay Bridge to SFO. Finally, you’ll find many budget airlines like Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Airlines flying from OAK. Similarly, New York also has three airports serving it – JFK, EWR, and LGA. Of the three, JFK is the most preferred since it has great public transport connections that will get you downtown in no time. Also, being the biggest international airport of the three, it offers significantly more domestic and international flights than EWR and LGA. It also has the best lounges, amenities, and restaurants of the three New York airports. LGA has to settle for second place, and its benefits include newer facilities, and it is the closest airport to Manhattan.
