Hello, I just flew out of Southwest Airlines SJC Terminal and can't believe how smooth everything went. I had heard that it was a great airport, but doing it myself was even better than hearing it. The terminal is small but efficiently organized. I checked in on the Southwest kiosk and was through security in less than 15 minutes. That never happens at larger airports! There were reasonable food options available—popped in at Einstein Bros. for a sandwich and coffee, and they were freshly prepared. Seating near the gate was pretty and had a good number of power outlets as well as chairs that were relatively comfortable, making hanging around way less painful. Also, the Southwest staff gave us good notice in plain English with good attitude, which was a welcome surprise. It was an easy and hassle-free start to my weekend trip. If you’re flying Southwest, expect friendly vibes and a super manageable airport experience. I’d choose this terminal again in a heartbeat.
