Gate Explorer is live at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Here’s how it works:
Gate Explorer is a new program that allows guests to enter the secure side of the airport after passing through our security checkpoints. Usually, you’d need to book a flight to go post-security. Now, all you need is Gate Explorer.

What you can use it for:
-Meeting your friends & family at their gate
-Walking friends & family to their gate
-Dining & drinks at SFO restaurants
-Shopping post-security
-Exploring @sfomuseum exhibits, special events &more
