Gate 21 in Terminal B puts Hudson right on your walk
Hudson at Gate 21 in Terminal B sits directly in the main flow toward the mid‑B gates, so you pass it walking to most Southwest and Alaska departures. It’s post-security, on the right side as you move deeper into B, and focuses on travel gear and apparel rather than food or souvenirs.
Hours generally track early departures in Terminal B, with doors open before the first 6:00–7:00 a.m. waves and staying open through the late evening bank around 9:00–10:00 p.m. Pricing feels standard airport: think around $25–$40 for light jackets, $15–$30 for backpacks or totes, and sub-$20 for smaller accessories like belts, hats, and neck pillows.
Gear leans practical: basic carry‑ons, soft duffels, small daypacks, and laptop sleeves that fit under-seat on 737s and A320s serving SJC. Apparel runs to logo caps, simple hoodies, and travel basics in common sizes, helpful if your checked bag goes missing off a Southwest or Alaska flight at B. Expect mainstream brands rather than niche outdoors labels.
Assortment covers the usual “I forgot it” category: TSA‑size toiletry kits, compression socks, eye masks, and lightweight umbrellas that fit into a standard personal item. If your wheel cracks on a roller bag or a zipper fails at SJC, this is the closest gear stop to Gate 21 and the neighboring low‑20s gates.
Practical tip: if you’re tight on time for a flight out of Gate 18–24, walk past Hudson first, find your gate and boarding status on the nearby screens, then double back here so you’re not shopping while your group is lining up.
