Don’t forget the traffic around the Bay Area’s airports
The Super Bowl will be drawing fans from around the United States — and many of them will be flying into San José Mineta International Airport, San Francisco International Airport and Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport.
This means you can expect higher-than-usual traffic on the roads around SJC, SFO and OAK in the run-up to Super Bowl Sunday — and after, too. According to an SFO spokesperson, Monday is the busiest Super Bowl-related travel day, as attendees head home the day after the game.
If you’re catching a flight before, during or after Super Bowl Sunday, you should also be prepared for above-average crowds within the Bay Area’s airports — so arrive early to make sure you make it through the TSA security line in time, especially if you don’t yet have a REAL ID.
You may also want to brace for possible flight delays at SJC, too, due to temporary flight restrictions to manage demand.
