There are three major international airports that serve the Bay Area: San Francisco International Airport (SFO) as well as Oakland International Airport (OAK) and San Jose International Airport (SJC). There are many direct flights from major US cities to these airports.
The cheapest way to get from OAK or SFO to Berkeley is via BART. It will take
- between 30-45 min from OAK (Grey+ Orage lines)
- about an hour from SFO (Red or Yellow+Orange lines).
Downtown Berkeley is the BART stop closest to the lab. Google maps will show you the correct BART option from the airport BART stations.
To get to the lab from Berkeley, there is a shuttle (the Blue shuttle and orange shuttle) that runs about every 15 minutes from the Downtown Berkeley BART stop to the lab. The shuttle is free, but you need to show the site access confirmation email that you will be sent just before the workshop.
