A smaller airport is a faster airport
OAK runs two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and neither is large. The practical effect is that the interval between your wheels touching down and your bags being in the vehicle is materially shorter than at a four-terminal airport — often the difference that makes OAK the quicker option even on a route where the driving distance is slightly longer. Your chauffeur has your details before you land and meets you curbside at the terminal your flight actually used, confirmed at booking rather than guessed at from the itinerary.
