Earlier this year, Oakland International Airport renamed itself to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. Now people are showing up to SFO thinking they are at OAK.

“I fail to see the confusion. …. It clarifies to the world that OAK is on the San Francisco Bay. It does not confuse and leads to more nonstop option choices at the airport,” he said during a Port of Oakland public meeting. “This is not about San Francisco. We’re not trying to confuse or copy them.”

I saw this coming from a mile away. I love the Bay Area and have flown out of all three major airports. Oakland did not need to do this.
