Landline Starts Santa Rosa to SFO Airside Bus November 17

By PerkJolt Travel Desk
Travel scene

Landline will start "Straight to Gate" coach service from Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa to San Francisco International (SFO) on Nov 17, 2026. Fares start at $55 one way for adults; kids and infants 15 and under ride free . As of Oct 13, 2026; confirm on Landline's SFO page.

How it works

You check in and drop bags at the Landline counter or kiosks inside the Sonoma County terminal. Bag drop opens 60 minutes before departure, and Landline says to arrive at least 15 minutes before. You pass TSA screening at STS with your airline boarding pass and a TSA-approved ID (REAL ID for driver's licenses). You step off the coach at "SFO Airside" already through security, with bags checked through to your final destination .

Airlines

Landline's page names United, Alaska, Hawaiian, American and JetBlue as Straight to Gate airline partners. The page does not list partners specific to the Santa Rosa direction, so confirm that your airline and ticket qualify before you book.

Reported details (lead, not official)

The Points Guy reported on Oct 12 that the coach arrives at gate A3 in the International Terminal and that rides do not earn airline miles (lead: https://thepointsguy.com/news/san-francisco-airport-sfo-landline-connections-santa-rosa-sonoma/). Landline's page does not state either point, so treat them as reported.

The points angle

This is a bus, not a flight, so you should not expect miles or elite credit. The case for it is cost and time: $55 each way compared with driving to SFO and paying for parking, plus skipping the SFO security line. Do the math for your party size, since kids 15 and under ride free.
