Oakland International Airport spokesman Scott Winter said Monday that things are running smoothly at that airport, with peak holiday travel spread out over several days before and after Christmas.
He said the airport has a festive feeling, with decorations at the gates and check-in areas.
Winter also said an Oaklandish pop-up store has opened temporarily, offering travelers the chance to pick up last-minute gifts with a local flavor. The Oakland-based apparel and accessory shop has been set up near Gate 25 in Terminal 2.
Travelers heading in and out of Mineta San Jose International Airport Monday can likely expect on-time flights, spokeswoman Vicki Day said.
She said Christmas travel has been constant over the past few days and today, and that there are no major delays or other issues.
