OAK Terminal Map: Terminal 1, Terminal 2 & Parking Guide 2026

Back to OAK Airport Terminal Guide | Complete OAK Airport Parking Guide

The OAK terminal map is a navigational layout of Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport showing Terminal 1, Terminal 2, all parking lots, ground transportation zones, and key passenger facilities. The airport has just two terminals connected by a secure walkway, making it one of the easier Bay Area airports to navigate. Parking starts at $6.95/day through off-site lots bookable on Triply, compared to $18/day for on-airport Economy parking. Knowing which terminal your airline uses — and which lot sits closest to it — saves real time on travel day.

• Terminal 1 serves Alaska Airlines, Delta Connection, Frontier, Hawaiian, Volaris, Volaris El Salvador, Advanced Air, and some Southwest flights.
• Terminal 2 is the primary home of Southwest Airlines.
• On-airport parking ranges from $18/day (Economy) to $40/day (Premier), per official airport data (verified October 2026).
• Off-site lots on Triply — Express Park Fly, Spring Park Airport Parking, and Airpark Oakland Parking — sit 1.3–1.7 miles from the terminals and run 24/7 shuttles.
• The Premier Lot is the closest on-airport option to both terminal entrances — just steps away.
• A Terminal Modernization and Development Project is planned; check iflyoak.com before you travel for any layout changes.

Compare OAK parking lots starting at $6.95/day — reserve your spot near Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 on Triply before prices rise.

What Does the OAK Terminal Map Show? (Terminal 1 vs. Terminal 2 Overview)

The official OAK terminal map, published at maps.iflyoak.com, shows two passenger terminals arranged side by side along Airport Drive. Each terminal has its own check-in lobby, security checkpoint, gates, and baggage claim level. The map also shows parking lots, the BART station, rental car center on Earhart Road, and ground transportation curbs.

Terminal 1 is the larger of the two. It handles the more diverse airline mix — Alaska Airlines, Delta Connection, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Volaris, Volaris El Salvador, Advanced Air, and some Southwest flights. Terminal 1 gates are numbered in the range of 1, 3–12, 14, 15, and 17, based on competitor gate data, though passengers should always confirm at check-in.

Terminal 2 is Southwest Airlines' main base at OAK. Its gates run in the 20s and 30s — roughly gates 20–27 and 29–32. The terminal has its own security checkpoint and baggage claim carousels, separate from Terminal 1.

Both terminals sit along the same departures loop on Airport Drive. The key thing the map reveals is that Premier, Hourly, and Daily parking lots are all within walking distance of both terminal entrances. The Economy Lot requires a shuttle. Off-site lots drop passengers at the terminal curb via dedicated shuttle routes.

Which Terminal Should You Use at Oakland Airport?

Your terminal is determined by your airline — you don't choose it. Check your boarding pass or airline app to confirm which terminal handles your flight before you park.

Southwest operates the majority of OAK flights. The airline occasionally uses Terminal 1 gates for overflow, so double-check your terminal on the day of travel. Official terminal assignments are published at iflyoak.com.

Where Are the Parking Lots on the OAK Terminal Map?

On the OAK terminal map, parking is layered from closest to farthest. The Premier Lot sits directly in front of both terminals — it's the most convenient option at $40/day. Working outward, the Hourly Lot ($36/day) and Daily Lot ($26/day) are also walkable to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The Economy Lot is the farthest on-airport option, at $18/day, and requires a free shuttle.

All rates include the 20% City of Oakland Parking Tax, per official airport data (verified October 2026). Off-site lots on Triply can save you up to 61% versus Premier Lot pricing — that's the difference between $6.95/day and $40/day for the same trip. For a deeper look at every lot's rate structure, see our guide to OAK parking rates for 2026.

The BART Oakland Airport Connector station is located within the Premier Parking area. The connector runs to Coliseum BART station in roughly 8–9 minutes, per BART's published schedule. This makes the Premier Lot a useful landmark on the terminal map even for non-drivers.

How Do You Get Between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at OAK?

Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are connected by a secure indoor walkway near the gate areas. Travelers who are already through security can walk between terminals without re-screening. The connector is typically near Gate 4 on the Terminal 1 side and Gate 20 on the Terminal 2 side, based on available competitor data — but follow posted signage on the day of travel, as terminal layouts can shift.

If you haven't yet cleared security, you cannot use the secure connector. You'd need to exit one terminal, cross the departure roadway, and enter the other terminal's check-in area to re-screen. For most travelers, this isn't necessary — your airline keeps you in one terminal for the entire journey.

The OAK terminal map at maps.iflyoak.com shows the walkway and can help you orient yourself before arrival. Download or screenshot the map ahead of your trip so you have it offline.

What Gates Are in Each OAK Terminal?

Based on data from competitor analysis, Terminal 1 gates include numbers 1, 3–8, 8A, 9, 9A, 10–12, 14, 15, and 17. Terminal 2 gates run from approximately 20–27 and 29–32. Gate assignments can change for operational reasons, so always verify at check-in or on departure boards.

Terminal 1 handles the broader mix of airlines, so its gate range is wider. Terminal 2 is dedicated almost entirely to Southwest, which operates a high volume of daily departures from OAK. Southwest is OAK's dominant carrier, which is why Terminal 2 has its own complete set of facilities — check-in counters, security, gates, and baggage claim — rather than sharing Terminal 1's infrastructure.

Knowing your gate number helps you plan which terminal entrance to use and how long to allow from your parking lot. The OAK terminal map breaks down the gate numbering by zone, making it easy to see whether you're heading to the lower or upper gate numbers before you leave the car.

How Far Is Parking From Each OAK Terminal?

Walking distance from parking to the terminal depends entirely on which lot you use. The Premier Lot is the closest — it sits directly in front of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 entrances. The Hourly and Daily lots are also walkable, a short distance along the covered footpaths. The Economy Lot is not walkable; the free shuttle picks you up from 7 designated stops in the lot and runs every 15–20 minutes. Overnight service between approximately 11 PM and 5 AM is on demand — call 510-563-3890 or check the shelter sign for your exact window.

Off-site lots accessed through Triply are located 1.3–1.7 miles from the airport. Express Park Fly sits at 195 98th Avenue off 98th Avenue, Spring Park Airport Parking is at 250 Hegenberger Road off Hegenberger Road, and Airpark Oakland Parking is at 111 98th Avenue. All three run shuttle service to the terminal curb. Airpark drops passengers at the 4th curb (Section 4F) and departs every 10 minutes. Express Park Fly and Spring Park are on demand — call after collecting your bags on return.

What Amenities Can You Find Using the OAK Terminal Map?

The OAK terminal map is more than a gate guide — it shows dining, shopping, lounges, ground transportation, and accessibility routes across both terminals. Here's what travelers typically find at each level.

Terminal 1 Amenities

• Escape Lounge — OAK's only airport lounge, open to eligible travelers. Details at iflyoak.com/visit/escape-lounge.
• Security checkpoint with standard lanes and TSA PreCheck lanes — PreCheck travelers clear security faster with no shoe removal or laptop unpacking required.
• Check-in counters for Alaska, Frontier, Hawaiian, Delta Connection, Volaris, and others.
• Baggage claim carousels on the arrivals level.
• Ground transportation curbs for rideshare, taxis, and off-site shuttle pickups.

Terminal 2 Amenities

• Southwest Airlines check-in and ticketing counters.
• Dedicated security checkpoint — also with TSA PreCheck lanes.
• Gates 20–32 (approximately), all Southwest operated.
• Baggage claim for Southwest arrivals.
• Ground transportation access on the lower level.

Reviewing TSA's official screening rules before your trip is a good habit, especially if you're packing liquids or electronics. Both terminals have standard checkpoint procedures — knowing the rules saves time at the lane.

EV charging is available in on-airport lots at no extra charge (standard parking rates apply). ADA-accessible spaces are located in all lots along protected walkways, and the terminal map shows accessible routes from each lot to both terminal entrances.

How Will the OAK Terminal Modernization Project Change the Terminal Map?

The Terminal Modernization and Development Project at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport is the most significant change to the OAK terminal map in decades. The Port of Oakland released the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in October 2024. The plan includes a new terminal north of Terminal 1, modernized Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 buildings, expanded international arrivals capacity, and changes to roadways and parking areas.

The project could add up to 16 net new gates, according to planning documents published at iflyoak.com/business/terminal-modernization. That would significantly expand the current gate count across both terminals. However, as of October 2026, no construction schedule has been published on the airport's website. No parking facility closures have been identified at this time.

Once construction begins, the terminal map, parking lot layout, and ground transportation curbs may all change. Check iflyoak.com before your trip for the most current terminal map and any active closures. This is especially important if you're booking parking months in advance.

For travelers planning trips now, the current layout remains fully operational. Our guide to OAK long-term parking rates and options for 2026 covers which lots make the most sense for extended trips while the modernization project remains in the planning phase.

OAK Terminal Map: Your Next Step Before You Park

The OAK terminal map confirms what most travelers discover quickly: this is a compact, manageable airport. Two terminals, one secure connector, and four on-airport parking tiers — plus three off-site lots that undercut on-airport rates by up to 61%. Based on current Triply rates, off-site options at OAK start at just $6.95/day versus $40/day for the closest on-airport Premier Lot. For a 7-night trip, that's a difference of roughly $231.

Use the interactive terminal map at maps.iflyoak.com to confirm your terminal and gate area before you drive. Then lock in your parking rate before your travel date — availability at the lowest-priced lots fills up during busy periods.
