San Francisco International Airport International Terminal G Map (Most Up-To-Date)

International Terminal G is the north-side international pier at San Francisco’s main airport complex, feeding Gates G1–G14 off the International Main Hall. Post-security, the concourse runs like a straight pier with its base near Checkpoint G and Gate G1, then extends down the hallway toward mid-pier gates (around G7) and out to higher-numbered gates. The key spatial reality is that G connects airside into Terminal 3, while A-side connections are possible only via the long domestic loop.

San Francisco International Airport International Terminal G Map Strategy

• Treat “stay sterile” as the default for G↔Terminal 3 moves; the connector sits right off the Checkpoint G exit, and construction hoarding changes sightlines more than the actual path.
• Treat G↔A as a decision, not a walk: the airside route is the long domestic loop (T3→T2→T1→A), while the landside cut-through guarantees re-screening.
• Treat walking time as a budget item: mid-pier (around G7) to A-side airside is a long-haul transfer, so don’t commit unless security-line risk is worse than the mileage.
• Treat BART and AirTrain as different problems: BART is a Level 3 walk from the G side of the Main Hall, while AirTrain is Level 4 via the vertical cores near Checkpoint G (don’t add an unnecessary up–train–down cycle).

In 2025, International Terminal G operates as SFO’s primary Star Alliance international boarding area, with the airside ring connection intact but still distance-heavy for cross-airport transfers. Terminal 3 West Modernization keeps some corridors visually “temporary,” yet the G↔T3 sterile connector remains operational. The biggest practical updates to expect are interim routing cues near Terminal 3 interfaces and evolving wayfinding around vertical access to AirTrain.

What is the exact walking distance (feet/meters) from International Terminal G Security to the first post-security connector point that leads toward Terminal 3 F/E areas (using the current open route)?

The walking distance is approximately 200–300 feet (60–90 meters) from the exit of Security Checkpoint G to the first post-security connector portal toward Terminal 3 (F Gates). The connector entrance sits essentially at the base of the G concourse, near the Gate G1 area, so it functions like an immediate “turn” rather than a meaningful walk. Under Terminal 3 West Modernization, the sterile path can look temporarily walled-in, but the connector remains airside; following “Terminal 3” / “Connecting Flights” signage keeps you from drifting into any landside exits.

From the center of G concourse (e.g., around G7), what is the fastest post-security route to the International Terminal A concourse entrance, and what is the measured walk time at a normal pace?

The fastest post-security route is the sterile loop from G7 through Terminal 3, Terminal 2, and Harvey Milk Terminal 1 into International Terminal A, taking about 35–45 minutes at a normal pace. The route works because SFO’s airside ring is complete, but there is no direct airside bridge across the International Main Hall between A and G, so you pay the distance penalty by walking the domestic arc.

Segment	Connector sequence	Typical walk time
G7 → Terminal 3	Back to base of G → G↔T3 connector (to F Gates)	~5 min
Terminal 3 → Terminal 2	Traverse F area → E connector → into T2	~10–12 min
Terminal 2 → Terminal 1	Cross T2 (C/D areas) → T2↔T1 connector	~8–10 min
Terminal 1 → Intl A	Walk T1 spine (B area) → Intl A connector → arrive near A1/A3	~12–15 min

Which specific corridor(s)/connector(s) between G and A are blocked/closed (or force an exit) under current construction routing, and where are the nearest alternate connectors?

No direct airside G↔A corridor exists, so any “direct” G-to-A connector is effectively blocked by the airport’s core architecture, not by a temporary closure. The current open post-security route is the full airside loop, and the required connectors on that loop remain operational even with Terminal 3 West Modernization; construction mainly adds interim walkways and hoarding rather than forcing a landside exit.

Connection goal	Corridor/connector status	Nearest alternate connector if you hit a dead-end
“Direct” G↔A airside cut-through	Not built; no sterile bridge across Intl Main Hall	Use the airside loop via Terminal 3 → Terminal 2 → Terminal 1 → Intl A
G → Terminal 3 (F)	Open; may be narrowed/temporary near the T3 interface	Follow “Connecting Flights / Terminal 3” to the interim post-security walkway
Terminal 3 → Terminal 2	Open as part of the airside ring	Stay airside toward E Gates and onward to T2 connectors
Terminal 2 → Terminal 1	Open (post-2024 ring completion)	Continue along signed airside connectors toward T1 (B Gates)
Terminal 1 → Intl A	Open	Continue on the signed Intl A connector (arrives near A1/A3)

What is the closest AirTrain station access point to International Terminal G (exact level + doorway/landmark), and what is the shortest signed path from G curbside drop-off to that station?

The closest AirTrain access to International Terminal G is the “International Terminal G” AirTrain station entrance on Level 4, reached via the vertical core (escalators/elevators) near Security Checkpoint G on the north (G) side of the International Main Hall. From curbside on the G side, the shortest signed route is to enter at the departures-level doors closest to Checkpoint G, then go straight to the nearby escalators/elevators up one level.

• Start point: International Terminal Departures Level (Level 3), G side curb access at Doors 11–13 (near the G-side check-in and Checkpoint G area).
• Indoor landmark: Security Checkpoint G (International Main Hall, north/G side).
• Vertical transition: Take the escalator or elevator bank adjacent to the G checkpoint area up to Level 4.
• End point: Level 4 landing directly into the AirTrain “International Terminal G” station platform access.

What is the shortest route from G Gates (post-security) to the AirTrain platform used for BART, including the exact connector(s) and vertical transitions (stairs/escalator/elevator points)?

The shortest path to the BART-connected rail area from G gates is a Level 3 walk to the BART fare gates, with zero vertical transitions, not an AirTrain ride. Going up to Level 4 to take AirTrain to “Garage G/BART” adds an unnecessary up–ride–down sequence and is the common trap for G-side travelers.

• Origin anchor: exit the G concourse toward the base near the Checkpoint G exit (Gate G1 side).
• Connector: use the main concourse spine back into the International Main Hall on Level 3 (no sterile connector required).
• Wayfinding line: walk straight/slightly right toward the Garage G side of the Main Hall.
• Vertical transitions: none (stay on Level 3).
• Destination anchor: BART station fare gates on Level 3 on the G side of the International Terminal (adjacent to the Garage G entrance area).

Which security checkpoint(s) can be used to access G gates today (G checkpoint vs other checkpoints), and for each option, what post-security connector(s) prove whether you can reach G concourse without re-screening?

Security Checkpoint G is the direct entry to G gates, and Terminal 3’s Checkpoint F1 is the most practical alternate that still reaches G post-security without re-screening. The proof you stayed sterile is that you can physically walk the signed airside connector into the G concourse; if you ever pass through a public arrivals/ticketing hall, you’ve lost the sterile path and must clear TSA again.

• Checkpoint G (International Main Hall, Level 3, G side): direct post-security insertion into the base of Boarding Area G.
• Checkpoint F1 (Terminal 3): post-security, follow the airside G↔T3 connector signed for “International Terminal / G Gates” into Boarding Area G.
• Checkpoint D (Terminal 2): post-security, walk the airside ring via Terminal 3 connectors, then take the G↔T3 connector into G.
• Checkpoint B (Terminal 1) and Checkpoint A (International A): post-security, reach G only by walking the full airside loop (T1→T2→T3→G), with no re-screening as long as you never exit to landside.

Where exactly is the United Club near G7 (precise position on the concourse), and what is the shortest walking route from the club entrance to the midpoint of the G gates (measured distance)?

The United Club is located on International Terminal G’s concourse level (Level 3) between Gates G6 and G9, effectively at the G7/G8 mid-pier zone. The shortest walk from the club entrance to the midpoint of the G gates is about 100 feet (≈30 meters), because the midpoint is essentially the same area around G7/G8.

• Position anchor: between Gate G6 and Gate G9, right-hand side when walking from Checkpoint G toward the end of the pier.
• Midpoint target: Gate G7/G8 area (center of the G pier).
• Measured distance: ~100 feet (~30 m) from the club entrance to the G7 midpoint zone.

For an international arrival into G, where is the baggage re-check counter located relative to the customs exit (distance + left/right orientation), and what is the shortest walking line between them?

The baggage re-check counter is immediately to the left when you exit the customs doors into the International Arrivals Lobby (Level 2). The shortest line is a simple left 90-degree turn out of the opaque customs exit doors and a short walk along that wall/corridor toward the “Connecting Flights” signage.

• Orientation: left turn immediately upon exiting customs.
• Landmark: “Connecting Flights” overhead signage right at the customs egress.
• Path: exit doors → turn left 90° → walk straight to the re-check desks along the left-side wall.
• Distance: effectively “near-immediate,” roughly within a few dozen feet of the customs exit (short enough that drifting forward into the greeter crowd is the main failure mode).

Under current temporary routing, what is the fastest post-security path from G concourse to Terminal 1 (or Terminal 2) and what are the measured walk distances to the first major decision point(s)?

The fastest post-security path from G to Terminal 2 or Terminal 1 is the sterile walk via the Terminal 3 connector, with the first major decision point at the G↔Terminal 3 connector entrance near the base of G by Gate G1. From there, staying on “Connecting Flights” signage keeps you on the airside ring despite temporary hoarding near Terminal 3.

Destination	Fastest post-security path	Distance to first decision point
Terminal 2	G concourse → G↔T3 connector → traverse T3 (F→E) → T3↔T2 connector	~200–300 ft (60–90 m) to the G↔T3 connector portal
Terminal 1	G concourse → G↔T3 connector → T3→T2 → T2↔T1 connector → into T1 (B area)	~200–300 ft (60–90 m) to the G↔T3 connector portal

Measured walk distances for the full trips:

• G → Terminal 2: ~0.6–0.7 miles (1.0–1.1 km)
• G → Terminal 1: ~0.8–0.9 miles (1.3–1.4 km)

From rideshare/taxi drop-off at International Terminal G, what is the exact door/entry point that minimizes indoor walking to G Security, and what is the distance from curb to checkpoint?

Door 13 (with Door 14 as a near-equivalent backup) minimizes indoor walking to Security Checkpoint G from International Terminal G rideshare/taxi drop-off. The shortest line is to get dropped at the north/G-side center-island zones closest to Doors 13–14, cross the inner roadway at the marked crosswalk, enter Door 13, then walk straight into the G checkpoint area.

• Best drop zone: center island, International Terminal north/G-side (Zones 15–16).
• Best entry: Door 13 (backup: Door 14), aligned with the G-side checkpoint area.
• Walking line: center island curb → crosswalk (~30 ft) → Door 13 → straight to TSA lanes.
• Distance: ~200–250 feet (60–75 meters) from curb to the checkpoint.
