The San Francisco International Airport would have to be on the Top Ten list for best airports to entertain you during any flight departure or arrival delays. They have thought of many helpful amenities and services to meet a variety of passenger interests and needs. When you open this reference web site, be sure to point your mouse at the interactive links on the left side bar.

Looking at their Services, they have everything from luggage carts and wheelchairs to a medical clinic, pharmacy, showers (oh, my, how wonderful for travelers who have been journeying for many hours), a spa (what?!) and a Nursery for child care! The familiar shoeshine business is back, also, seen in waiting areas of other types of metropolitan transit centers during the twentieth century. Banking services, business center, electronic devices like telephones with data ports, companion/family restrooms, currency exchange, baggage wrapping service and an animal relief center round out this double column of offered assistance. A place to give your pet a drink, food, walking exercise and a potty opportunity is amazing and long overdue.

Once you are finished with the basic comforts and business details of life, look at the Amenities interactive link. Now it is time to play! You can enjoy exploring their Aviation Library and Museum, the Kids' play area, the Aquarium (wow!) and there is a Reflection Room for those who want to get away from the crowds and have a quiet, more peaceful room.

What else is in this incredible airport? Food! Three columns of every type of restaurant or fast food service that interests you. Bakeries, Bistros, Burger King, Cafes, Delis, Diners, Grills (including a Jalapeno one), Just Desserts, Peel's Coffee and Tea, Starbucks, TGI Friday, Tomakazu, Subway and the Yankee Pier are calling for you to try their specialties and ambiance. The Buena Vista San Francisco, Legends of San Francisco, Max's the Greek, Harbor Village Kitchen, the San Francisco Soup Company and the Soup and Salad Station welcome your patronage. This is a partial listing of the establishments in operation during 2009.

Link onto Shopping and find everything from books, chocolates and entertainment to haute couture fashion designers' stores to the PGA Tour Shop. I saw listings for Burberry, Gucci, Swarovski crystals, KTVU 2 News, Pacific Outfitters, SFMOMA Museum Store. Simply Gourmet, sunglasses, Tie Rack, Tech Showcase and more.
