SJC Airport Help
San José Mineta International Airport — San José, CA
SJC serves the South Bay — the most convenient airport for travelers in San José, Cupertino, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. Two terminals (A and B) connected at the post-security level. Smaller than SFO but with steady international and tech-corridor business traffic.
Pick your terminal
Each terminal at SJC has its own curbside layout, crowd patterns, and quirks. We've detailed each one — pick yours for what to expect and how a Buddy helps:
Terminal A
Alaska · American · Delta · Hawaiian · …
Departures on the upper roadway, Doors A1–A4. Arrivals (and rideshare/taxi pickup) on the ground level just below.

Terminal B
Southwest · Frontier · Spirit
Departures upper roadway, Doors B1–B4. Southwest's high-volume curb. Connected airside to Terminal A so any gate is reachable from either security checkpoint.

What we help with at SJC
- Traveling with kids. We meet you at the curb, handle bags and car seats, and stay with the family through check-in so a parent isn't juggling kids and luggage at the same time.
- Wheelchair-assist handoff. If your traveler has requested airline wheelchair service, we wait curbside, escort to the counter, and stay until the airline's official wheelchair attendant takes over — so they're never alone in the line.
- Elderly parent flying solo. We're a calm, friendly hand-off between you and the airline. We keep them company through the unfamiliar parts — kiosks, bag drop, finding TSA — and you get a text when they're at security.
- Stroller and car-seat handling. Curb drop-offs with strollers, car seats, and gate-check tags are exactly the kind of fiddly task that wrecks a tight schedule. We do it for you.
- Heavy or oversized luggage. Two bags, three bags, a guitar case, a stack of boxes — we move them from the curb to the counter so you don't throw your back out before vacation starts.
- Tight schedule on departure day. When the timeline is tight (work meeting → flight, school drop-off → airport), every step we handle is one less risk between you and the gate.
