To begin my United trip to East Asia, I flew from Burbank (BUR) to San Francisco (SFO), a route that I have flown for 20 years from an airport that is quite close to my home.
There is no lounge here and the facilities are very poor, particularly the B gates where United flies from, though a new terminal is scheduled to open in October 2026.
Just a fun piece of history. United mainline flew to Burbank until 2011 (one of the many horrific decisions during the Jeff Smisek era) and the terminal had these cool charging station signs hearkening back to pre-bankruptcy days:
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
