How does the Joy Park Fly shuttle reach SJC's Terminal A and Terminal B?
SJC puts Southwest, Alaska, Hawaiian and ZIPAIR in Terminal B, and American, Delta, Frontier, United and Volaris in Terminal A. Check your airline before you board the shuttle. One May 2025 ParkingAccess reviewer timed the trip at about 10 minutes, so allow more than the operator's 3.
Joy Park Fly's own site gives three street numbers on North 4th Street: 1740 in its header, 1785 in its footer and 1610 in its booking form, which is also the address ParkingAccess lists. Follow the operator's written directions below, or call (408) 565-5243 before you set out.
Arriving at Joy Park Fly
- Allow extra time. The Airport Parking Reservations listing asks you to arrive 25 to 30 minutes before you want to be at the terminal; Joy Park Fly's site gives no figure.
- From US-101 south, take the Brokaw Rd. exit, continue to North 1st Street and merge onto Matrix Blvd (Old Bayshore). Bear right onto North 4th Street and drive about 400 feet; the lot is on your left.
- From I-880 or CA-17, exit at North 1st Street, turn onto Rosemary Street, then turn left onto North 4th Street. The lot is about 400 feet along on your right, past Peterbilt.
- For valet, leave the car at the front gate and board the shuttle. For self-park, choose a space and lock the car yourself. The reseller listing says valet may be required when the lot is full.
- Ride to your terminal. Joy Park Fly says its staff carry your luggage.
Coming back to San José
- Collect your bags and call (408) 565-5243 to request a pickup.
- At Terminal B, cross from baggage claim to the center island, walk to the right and wait by sign #11, marked Off Airport Parking.
- At Terminal A, walk left from baggage claim to the end of the brown building and wait by sign #8, marked Courtesy Shuttle.
- Look for a van marked JOY PARK FLY, then ride back to North 4th Street for your car. These pickup steps come from the reseller listing; Joy Park Fly's site does not publish them.
