The airport to them is a way station between long flights to the next big wave, steep mountain, colorful reef, and comfy couch to surf.

EAT: Max’s EVOO Cafe b fits the vibe of this renovated stretch of Terminal 3, offering organic, healthy sandwiches, soups and salads — as well as, to a less healthy extent, pastries and bagels. Grab something portable for the plane. Terminal 3, near Gate 70, post-security. SHOP: Boutique shop San

Francycle c carries plenty of bicycle-centric casual clothing and accessories (most designed and produced in San Francisco), including quirky shirts to wear in your next GoPro video. Terminal 3, near Gate 69 DIVERSION: Yoga Rooms d. Few practices are better suited to battling the physical and mental ills of being stuck on a plane for hours.

NECESSITY: At Freshen Up f, get a nap in a private room that won’t be interrupted by blaring gate change announcements and TSA security messages.
