>With SFO Gate Explorer, you can bring or meet friends and family at the gate, check out the latest exhibits and art pieces from the award-winning SFO Museum, and take in SFO’s world-class shopping and dining.

Very interesting. Is it a noticeably different experience? I've only gone through SFO twice years ago and I don't recall a distinct experience.

I fly to or through there 2-3 times a year, tiny sample size and I’m only flying through there to go back home in the evening. But it seems to be a consistently good experience. It’s a well run airport. I fly out of JFK and a smaller city airport in the northeast mostly. JFK is crazy.
