Separately, the departures lobby at Terminal 1 was closed for more than an hour on Dec. 26 morning due to what airport officials described as "police activity," and it reopened at around 10:45 a.m. local time.
Local media reported that Terminal 1 had been evacuated at around 8 a.m. local time after San Francisco police discovered a "suspicious package." No additional information was provided.
“There is still heavy roadway congestion, so give yourself extra time getting to the Airport and consider dropping off at the International Terminal and taking AirTrain,” the airport said.
Departing passengers using Terminal 1 who do not have luggage to check can be dropped off at other terminals and use less congested security checkpoints, which can access all gates via walkways.
