Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport SJC is located off Guadalupe Pakway, near the intersections of three major freeways, (US 101, I-880 and Route 87) and is 4 km from San Jose, California, the third-largest city in the state, situated at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay Area. San Jose Airport is known as the gateway to the high-tech area of Silicon Valley.
With three runways and an estimated 5.5 million passengers a year, Mineta San Jose Airport is served by domestic and Mexican airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.
As San Jose Airport outgrew its facilities, it embarked on a major airport improvement program to update terminal, roadway, airfield and parking facilities. The information below reflects the present status of the Airport's improvement program:
Present amenities & services at Terminal A include: Ticket counters 1 to 8 for United, US Airways, Volaris, Continental, American/ American Eagle, Mexicana, Hawaiian & JetBlue. Three baggage carousels at pre-security; one of which is for international flights; 7 food & drink establishments are at post-security, as well as 7 shops; Hudson News is in pre-security. The informaton both is near the entrance, with close-by Currency Exchange, Parking pay station, FedEx and Hotel information points. The Meeter & Greeter area is in the centr of the 2d floor. ATM machines are located in the areas of gates 15-16, 12-14, 9-11 & 1-8. for first aid, call 111 from a white courtesy phone or 911 from a standard phone.

It displays its futuristic design, offers plenty of daylight, art, shared-use ticket counters & gates, and chairs with power cords & USB ports on their armrests for charging laptops & handhelds..
While plans call for two concourses - the North and the South Concourse - only the North Concourse has so far been built and has 12 gates (17 to 28) used by Southwest as the primary tenant, along with Alaska, Horizon & Delta airlines. (It is planned to build the South Concourse once traffic levels justify such expansion.)
