About
Arriving at San José Mineta International Airport
San José Mineta International is the closest airport to Silicon Valley and downtown San Jose, sitting just minutes from the city center. Terminal A serves Southwest, while Terminal B handles most other airlines. Each terminal has its own arrivals curb.
The airport is easily accessible from US-101, I-880, and Highway 87. Despite its proximity to downtown, freeway traffic in the South Bay can be heavy during commute hours. A landing alert helps you navigate the timing—especially if you're coming from elsewhere in the Bay Area.
Pickup tip
SJC is just 3 miles from downtown San Jose. It's the most convenient airport for Silicon Valley. The two terminals have separate pickup areas—confirm which one before driving over.
