๐ข Terminal Information
Oakland International Airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 runs a long linear hall for most carriers and international arrivals, while Terminal 2 is the Southwest-focused concourse. Both terminals are linked airside by a post-security connector between Gates 8 and 20 and landside by a short covered walkway along the curbfront.
Walking from the ticketing lobby in either terminal to the farthest gates generally takes 10โ12 minutes; moving between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 takes about 5โ7 minutes using the airside corridor. Elevators and escalators sit near the midpoints of each concourse, so step-free routes follow the same timing as standard walks.
TSA checkpoints sit at the head of each terminal with dedicated PreCheck and CLEAR lanes; Terminal 1 has two entry points during peaks while Terminal 2 keeps one central checkpoint. Waits are often 10โ20 minutes midday, but can stretch past 30 minutes for early-morning banked departures, so checking the airportโs live dashboard is helpful.
International arrivals are processed in Terminal 1โs Federal Inspection Station with baggage reclaim on the lower level; re-check counters for onward flights sit just past customs for easy connections. The corridor is shared by all international carriers, so travelers should factor in occasional surges when transpacific or Mexico flights arrive together.
Amenities include the Escape Lounge (US) near Gate 8, plentiful grab-and-go outlets in both terminals, and local staples like Oaklandish and Peetโs Coffee. Family rooms and nursing suites sit near Gates 1 and 25, pet-relief areas flank the terminal entrances, and tactile paving plus elevators at every junction support accessible transfers.
๐ Connection Tips
Inter-terminal walk is short; check TSA peak times.

๐ข Terminal Information
Apalachicola Regional Airport (AAF) in Florida, USA, functions as a small, regional airport primarily serving general aviation and a limited number of charter flights. Its terminal facilities are notably compact, designed for efficiency and ease of use rather than extensive amenities. The layout typically involves a single building housing a small waiting area, a check-in counter (often unstaffed for non-commercial flights), and direct access to the tarmac. Given its scale, there are no separate terminals or complex inter-terminal connections. Passengers experience minimal walking distances, usually a few steps from the parking lot to the aircraft, making for an exceptionally quick and straightforward pre-flight experience.\n\nSecurity procedures at AAF are highly streamlined, reflecting its general aviation focus. Formal TSA security checkpoints are not typically in place for the majority of operations, though specific charter flights might arrange for ad-hoc screening. For general aviation, security primarily involves adherence to FAA regulations and airport authority guidelines, with a focus on general aviation safety protocols. Wait times for any necessary checks would be minimal, if not non-existent. As a domestic airport, there are no immigration or customs facilities on site, as these processes are handled at larger international ports of entry. Travelers should expect a relaxed, small-town airport atmosphere.\n\nAmenities at Apalachicola Regional Airport are very limited. There are no airline lounges, and dining options are generally non-existent beyond perhaps a vending machine. Retail facilities are absent. Passengers should not expect concessions and are advised to arrive with any necessary snacks, drinks, or personal items. Accessibility features are basic, with ground-level access throughout the small terminal building. Specialized assistance for passengers with reduced mobility may require prior arrangement with a charter operator or fixed-base operator (FBO). Family facilities, such as play areas or nursing rooms, are not provided. The airport's primary function is to support flight operations, with passenger comforts being secondary to its operational role.
