Oakland International Airport is projecting over 1 million passengers to pass through the airport between March 15 and April 15, an uptick fueled by spring break travel demand. The projection represents a 3 percent increase compared to the same time last year. While holiday schedules vary, most San Francisco East Bay educational institutions are observing spring break between mid-March and mid-April. The airport recommends arriving early and booking parking ahead during this busy travel period.
“Oakland International Airport welcomes spring break 2024 travelers,” says Craig Simon, Interim Director of Aviation at the Port of Oakland. “We encourage passengers to pay a visit to new concessions that are available in our terminals, and to plan ahead during this busy travel period.”
Travelers can save time by checking in for their flight before coming to the airport using the airline’s website or mobile application. In case of airline delays or cancellations, be sure to check flight status before coming to the airport.
