15 minutes without traffic or 30 minutes with traffic from SF to SFO isn't bad a...

Move the pointer to central SF (and Trulia will assume you have instant access to the freeway). 30 minutes with no traffic. Not 15.

But anyway, I was talking about the entrance.

30 minutes would barely get you from central SF to the airport ramp with a mostly empty 101.

But that's not the problem. Getting parked and a shuttle in will be at least 45 minutes, if you get a shuttle faster than normal.

Taking BART to SFO entrance: check the schedules. You'll be surprised how much of the day it doesn't run at all.

This must be why I always Uber to the airport. On normal days (not big travel day like Thanksgiving time) you can get from SoMa to Standing Outside SFO With Luggage Out of Trunk in about 30min during the day. I've seen as low as 15min at night.

I may have always gotten lucky and when I actually plan the trip I try to go for more like 45min travel-to-airport-time. Just to be sure.

On Thanksgiving or such, the off-ramp from 101 to SFO takes about an hour. That's crazy.
