The terminal is the first LEED-Gold certified terminal in the US, meeting high standards such as energy efficiency and water conservation, as well as offering free wireless and plugs throughout, living room-like gate spaces and 'moodlighting'. Virgin America, which runs its principal base of operations at SFO, will have T2 as its new home. The terminal will open to the public for a community open house on April 9 and have the first flights starting on April 14, according to officials from SFO. [Photo/Agencies] |
