INFORMATION

Airline Travel and Ground Transportation to Hotel Accommodations

Booking your flight to either San Jose International Airport or San Francisco International Airport is recommended, since both are an equivalent distance to Stanford University. Using a ridesharing service or taxi is the most direct option for ground transportation to your hotel.

An additional and more economical transportation option from San Francisco International Airport to your hotel is to take the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to Caltrain if your hotel is close to a Caltrain stop.
