American Changing Terminals at San Francisco

American Airlines announced today it will change its location at San Francisco International Airport next spring, moving from its current location in Terminal 3 to Terminal 2, which is currently being renovated.

Terminal 2 was closed in 2000 when SFO opened its new international travel. Plans to renovate the terminal were shelved in the wake of the decline in air travel after the September 11th attacks, but in 2009 the airport decided to do so, citing increased passenger travel.

American says it will also be constructing a brand new Admirals Club in the terminal, with seating for 165 passengers. Features like computers and televisions are pretty standard, but showers at a domestic lounge aren't all that common, so that's a welcome addition.

The airline currently flies to Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Miami, New York (JFK), and Honolulu from San Francisco, though Boston service will be dropped in November.

Virgin America will also be calling the renovated terminal home.
