Passengers at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) now have the option to check their bags in the airport's parking lot. This service, which began on November 19, is available for domestic flights with Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue. The service operates daily from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m., and passengers must check their bags at least 90 minutes before departure.
While this remote airline check-in service is complimentary, standard airline baggage fees still apply as they would when checking bags curbside or inside at the check-in desk. The service is offered in two areas of SFO: ParkRight on level 5 of a long-term parking garage and level one of the rental car center. Both locations are connected to the terminals via the AirTrain. Travelers can book online at least two hours in advance for ParkRight or pay upon entry. During Thanksgiving travel from November 25 to December 1, reservations are required for parking lot access.
According to SFGate, SFO plans to expand this service early next month to include Southwest Airlines and United Airlines passengers.
