|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mineta San Jose International Airport | SJC | 9 km (6 mi) | 11,000 ft | 62 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, SJC can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 62 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
