Question about getting to the Oakland Airport

<p>So a friend and I bought tickets to go home on Thanksgiving morning. The flight leaves at 7am. I thought I'd be able to take the bart to get to the airport, but I just looked at the bart website and apparently it doesn't leave that early? Eeeep. Help?</p>

<p>I'm not sure if shuttle companies run on holidays, but check those out. <a href="http://www.bayporter.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bayporter.com&lt;/a>
Call them and ask.</p>

<p>Taxi cab? Shuttle? Of course, you would have to pay more for those two. The bus also goes to the airport. I just don't know how early those operate.</p>

<p>Well, an option would be to check when the last Bart train goes to the airport the day of your flight, if its late enough, then maybe you can spend a couple of hours at the airport... thats just a last case scenario, but definitely trying searching for shuttles that might pick you up.</p>

<p>Supershuttle is one way to go or any of the other shuttle services. I would not recommend that you take the last Bart train with the idea of staying at the airport until your flight as I believe the Oakland airport is not open all night. However looking at the Airport/Bart website <a href="http://www2.oaklandairport.com/bart_airbart.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www2.oaklandairport.com/bart_airbart.shtml&lt;/a> it does look like the first bus from the Coliseum Bart station to the airport is at 5 a.m. The first BART train on a weekday from the downtown Berkeley station is at 4:32 and it arrives at Coliseum Bart at 4:54. You should just make the first AirBart bus.</p>

<p>thanks for all the replies!</p>

<p>If you are sharing the taxi, it might be about the same price as two people taking a shuttle -- I've had some slow shuttles, by the way, so give yourself enough time! Taking a bus in the wee hours, especially if you have to wait outside at a bus stop, might not be a great idea.</p>
