Local know-how
Why OAK suits Lafayette
For most domestic trips, Oakland is the easy airport from Lafayette: no bridge, half an hour, and a compact terminal layout.
The Caldecott Tunnel is rarely the bottleneck going west in the early morning; I-880 near the Coliseum is busier at rush hour.
If you are comparing with BART, the train to OAK needs a change to the airport connector at Coliseum.
