Starting Nov. 17, The Landline Company will provide a new shuttle service from Sonoma County Airport to San Francisco International Airport. This service allows passengers to complete TSA screening and check luggage locally before boarding a motorcoach for the two-hour drive to SFO.
Why it matters
The service aims to link the expanding population in Sonoma County directly to an international hub. By allowing travelers to clear security at their local airport, the shuttle simplifies the connection process for those catching flights with participating airlines.
One-way fares for the shuttle are priced at $55, with children 15 and younger traveling for free. The service will operate eight nonstop round trips daily with a drive time of approximately two hours.
