A recent airport name change has led to widespread confusion and misunderstandings.
California's Metropolitan Oakland International Airport recently faced backlash after renaming itself San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport in May. The change, intended to better reflect its regional significance, sparked controversy due to the proximity of San Francisco International Airport, only 30 miles away.

It makes sense they wanted to highlight the region, but adding "San Francisco" in the name might just mix things up more. With two airports so close together, it's easy to see why people are frustrated. Hopefully, they can clear up the confusion soon so travelers know where they're headed!
