VISITORS AND ALUMNI: VISITING MSE AT CAL: FLYING
If you have a choice of flying into Oakland or San Francisco (SFO) Airports Fly into the Oakland Airport. It is easier and cheaper to get to the University from the Oakland airport than from SFO. But if you are flying in from overseas this may not be possible. The Oakland airport is smaller than SFO and doesn't have as many flights from overseas. If you are flying from within the US, Canada, or Mexico flights into Oakland are as easy to book as flights into SFO.
