San Jose Airport (SJC) luggage storage

About San Jose Airport

Northern California’s largest city, San Jose, is home to the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC), also known simply as the San Jose Airport. Being a busy hub for Silicon Valley, power execs and tech-savvy travelers use the airport. The airport is minutes from downtown San Jose and offers many different activities and amenities to ensure passengers enjoy their experience while there. With several attractions in downtown San Jose, you may have the opportunity to see more than just the airport when traveling through the region. 

From public lounges to great restaurants to cute little shops, San Jose Airport offers a unique experience for travelers. Even if you are traveling with a beloved pet or service animal, airport staff is there to direct you to an exercise area dedicated to their four-legged passengers. Short layovers are generally painless, but when you have a stop that lasts several hours, consider hopping on public transit and heading into town.

Fun Fact: The movie Larger Than Life was filmed here, in now-demolished Terminal C. The movie stars on set included Bill Murray and an elephant named Tai.
