This week, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) wraps up the phased opening of the $2.4 billion Harvey Milk Terminal 1.<\/p>\n

There are new amenities for all, but it’s Alaska Airlines passengers who will reap the most benefits.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Alaska Airlines will move its SFO hub operations from Terminal 2 to Harvey Milk T1.<\/p>\n

On that day, all of Alaska’s flights to and from SFO will begin arriving and departing from the T1 gates. The airline’s check-in and bag drop activity will shift to the shiny new T1 lobby. All Alaska’s baggage delivery will take place in T1 as well.<\/p>\n

New lobby offers self-service bag tag and bag drop<\/h2>\n

With the opening of its new T1 lobby, Alaska becomes the first airline at SFO to offer automated bag drop, a service the airline has been piloting at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC).<\/p>\n

This should help reduce congestion in the SFO T1 lobby and prevent long lines, according to Neil Thwaites, Alaska’s regional vice president of California.<\/p>\n
