Flying into Beautiful Burlingame

Luxuriate in the Cathay Pacific Lounge

The Cathay Pacific Lounge is often touted as the most luxurious option in SFO. Located in the international terminal, this lounge spans 5,500 square feet. Travelers can relax in a clean, minimalist environment with sleek accents like Fabbian crystal, Carrara marble, Chinese granite, and bamboo paneling. A chef-staffed noodle bar is on hand for a delicious custom-made meal before the flight.

Domestic travelers can access United’s International First lounge with a first class ticket. This lounge features a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere with warm earth tones, comfortable seating, and several eating options.

Enjoy Free Transportation

Airport hotels surrounding SFO, like the Holiday Inn San Francisco Airport and San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront, often offer free airport shuttles. The free Burlingame Trolley also services select hotels, including the Marriott Waterfront. Combined, these provide free transportation throughout the city.

Travelers who prefer to rent a car will find 10 rental agencies on site at the airport, as well as five more accessible via a free airport shuttle. Visitors who want to explore the greater area, including the San Pedro Valley Park, Silicon Valley, Pacifica Beach, and San Francisco, may enjoy the freedom that a car rental will offer for quickly accessing the area beyond Burlingame.

Visit in Autumn

The fall months from September through November are the best time to visit the San Francisco and Burlingame area. With highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s, the weather is crisp but not biting. This season sees a distinct slump in tourist traffic. Winter is another cheap choice, but the colder weather and high precipitation don’t engender the city to everyone.

Don’t Miss the PEZ

One of the city’s most distinct attractions is the Burlingame Museum of PEZ Memorabilia. Visitors can channel their inner children at this hot spot for retro fun. The museum features more than 900 unique Pez dispensers, including the world’s largest Pez dispensing machine, standing 7 feet, 10 inches tall. Also included in this museum complex are the Classic Toy Museum and Banned Toy Museum.
