London Heathrow Airport, London Luton Airport, London Stansted Airport, London City Airport, London Southend Airport, London Gatwick Airport<p>In a circle around London with distances ranging from 8 to 40 miles from the city. Doesn’t seem that confusing for travellers, just gives them more options.

What a mess. Why not just get rid of “Oakland” entirely and call yourself “San Francisco North” or something? I guess I shouldn’t give them ideas…

This will no doubt cause confusion and shouldn&#x27;t be allowed to go through.<p>But I get where they&#x27;re coming from. I&#x27;m sure there are plenty of SF visitors whose travel plans work would equally well with flying to OAK instead of SFO, but don&#x27;t realize that Oakland is just across the bay from the city, or that SFO itself is a fair ways outside the the city limits and not really that much closer to downtown.<p>Hopefully they can work together and figure out a compromise that helps travelers realize they have options without being overly confusing.

Why? Did people flying to Oakland Michigan mistakenly end up in California?<p>If they want to attract SF visitors, how about calling it Oakland-SFBAY?

Give that SFO isn&#x27;t in San Francisco either, I don&#x27;t have a huge problem with this.

That&#x27;s just straight up scamming.
