Garage A
International Terminal A is one of two AirTrain Stations trains built directly into the just renamed in 2024 Senator Dianne Feinstein International Terminal. The station is on Level 4 and has a single island platform for the bidirectional loop of the two-guideway people mover system..
This island platform has two entrances: one at each end of the platform. With a set of escalators and a staircase at each end of the platform, there are also elevators at each end of the station’s platform. Automatic doors into fully indoor areas directly on the platform are by the banks of escalators/staircases, and the elevators since the terminal is open air. These lead down to the area in the terminal between the security checkpoint to the A concourse, and the ticket hall on the opposite side. This International A oncourse is not connected to the G concourse at all beyond security. The A concourse pre-security is just a 5 minute walk away from that AirTrain Station and one of the BART station entrances on the opposite side of the large international departures check-in hall. Also, the northern platform entrance leads to the Aviation Museum and Library, an accreted museum located in the international terminal.
