  • SMF Airport Overview
    Sacramento International Airport SMF is located right off Interstate Hwy 80, 12 miles northwest of downtown Sacramento, California’s state capital, in California’s Central Valley. The airport is situated directly in the middle between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe (90 miles each), and just 50 miles from Napa. With two runways, Sacramento Airport is served by major airlines offering non-stop flights in the US and overseas, with connections worldwide.

    The Airport has two passenger terminals - Terminals A and B (or 'T-A' & 'T-B'). Internet access is available throughout both terminals. To have someone paged, call (916) 929-5411. While the Airport doesn't have meeting rooms available, the Sacramento International Jet Center--the on-site fixed-base operator--has. Translation services by telephone are available in 150 languages--dial 00 on any white courtesy phone to be connected with the service, which is also accessible at the terminals' ticket counters, retail stores, and food and beverage sites on an as-needed basis. T-A's restaurants are mostly locatd on the upper level (three on the lower level) and all of its shops are on the upper level. T-B's restaurants are on the upper & lower level and a massage bar and Travel Mart are on the upper level. Pet relief areas are located at T-A, immediately behind the Southwest Airlines curbside check-in area, and in the breezeway just outside the Terminal B Information Booth.
    To rent a car, take the Rental Car Terminal Shuttle to the Rental Car Terminal.

    If you need to pick up a passenger from the Airport, use the free Cell Phone Lot (for up to 3 hours)--stay with your car until your party has collected luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb.
    Your parking options depend on which airline you use:
    Terminal A serves Delta, Southwest and US Airways. Park in the hourly parking garage, level 1, or the daily parking garage, levels 2-6.
    Terminal B serves Alaska, American, Frontier, Horizon, JetBlue, Mexicana and United Airlines. Park across the street for hourly parking; for daily parking, park between daily lots and Terminal B.
    The Economy Lot can be used for either terminal, with shuttle service to A & B Terminals.

    To get from the Airport to your destination, you have the option of taking a taxi or limo, or you can use the following alternatives: SuperShuttle, a shared-ride provider, offers service to the counties of Sacramento, Yolo, El Dorado, Placer, San Joaquin, Yuba, Butte, Solano, Sutter, and Nevada. Pickup areas are located in the ground transportation area adjacent to baggage claim in Terminal A and at the center island curb in front of Terminal B. You can also take the Yolobus with daily service to the airport and connection to Regional Transit.

    Future Developments: The aging Terminal B will be replaced with a brand-new terminal by the year 2012. The existing airport hotel was demolished to make way for the new four-story steel and glass Central Terminal B. According to plan, the old Terminal B will be demolished after all airlines have been phased into new locations in Central Terminal B and existing Terminal A.
