Decent legroom…the IFE box was a very slim affair which hardly took up any space.
A/C Power in Y
USB Charging, and regular 3.5mm headphone mini-plug…
All this for a one hour flight…I was impressed.
IFE programming was not free, though. Apart from some PR videos and kids programs, you had to pay to watch the selection of premium TV content, which I am sure no-one did on such a short sector.
At least audio content was complimentary.
The onboard menu was also browsable on the IFE as an ebook.
We deplaned at the spacious Terminal 2 gates – a very pleasant terminal to arrive and depart from at SFO.
Admiral’s Club…with a more prominent signboard here than in LAX T4.
Many airside eating options, whether you are coming or going.
Old style slanted metal baggage carousel…
It was good to be back in San Francisco…
In SF, I would have dinner at a Spanish restaurant, Gitane, and head for yet another run along the Golden Gate Bridge, before heading back to Singapore on SQ1. All that coming up in the final part of this TR, which can be found here.
One of the best things about airport hotels is always the view isn't it? I wouldn't be able to get much work done in the room with such a view.
This reminds me of the Vancouver Airport Fairmont hotel that i stayed some time back. Similar views of the tarmac, albeit much fewer variety of airlines taking off and landing. One thing the Fairmont had that I do not see in your room was a telescope by the window of all rooms that faced the tarmac. It was a brilliant piece of equipment that I was literally attached to the whole morning!
Complimentary use of the in-room telescope
I must confess that the picture of the empty economy aisle on your AA flight amused me. On any other Asian carrier, you'd see at least 2 flight attendants in the cabin, smiling and welcoming you onboard. Other than that, I must say those AA economy seats look really nice!
SFO T2 is a really nice, compact and modern airport. I was at the Virgin America side of the terminal, and really liked how cosy VX check-in area was.

Can't wait for your review of SQ1....

...there was a Kogi food “truck” at LAX T4, right next to the gate for my departing AA flight to SFO. Kogi? This was the same wonderful food served at the Alibi Room!

I was running a little late for my flight, so I wasn’t able to pick up another taco to eat onboard my flight. But I would have if I had known about the outlet earlier. Perhaps next time.

There is a reason for why the cabin was empty in the photo...I boarded the flight quite late, and by that time the plane was quite full, so the shots of the cabin were taken after landing, just before I got off the plane...
But yes, it is a really nice cabin, with great seats.
Had I known you were headed down there, I would have suggested MB Post for dinner. One of the best restaurants in the country.
Thanks for the tip! I was just one street away from this place! But it would have been difficult to eat there right away anyway, as I was still in jogging attire. Will keep MB Post in mind for a future trip!
