Because of its proximity to where our daughter and her family live, we prefer to use STS on visits from Seattle rather than the much more complex SFO. Everything is compact and easy to navigate. Food options are limited, but satisfactory. There is no doubt you are in Peanuts territory with all of the large statues of the comic strip's characters and other artwork throughout the terminal. While people use this airport as a gateway to the Napa wine country, there is also an excellent museum of the work of Charles M. Schultz in Santa Rosa which is definitely worth the time to visit ( Charles M. Schulz Museum | Official Website <https://schulzmuseum.org/>)
