Yolobus Routes 42A and 42B also offer reliable connections to Davis and Woodland. A critical tip for connecting passengers is that Terminals A and B are physically separate and not connected airside; if you must switch terminals, you will need to exit security and use the landside pedestrian bridges or the airport shuttle bus. For travelers heading to the nearby wine regions or Lake Tahoe, the consolidated rental car facility is easily reached via a 10-minute free shuttle ride that runs every 10 minutes from both terminals.\n\nNavigating ground transportation here is exceptionally efficient. For those preferring ride-hailing services like Uber or Lyft, follow the signs for 'App-Based Rides' to the designated pickup zones located on the ground floor of Terminal A and Level 1 of Terminal B. Arriving 90 to 120 minutes before your departure is usually sufficient, though Monday mornings can be busier than expected.\n\nFor the best value, the SacRT Route 142 (Airport Express) provides a direct link to downtown Sacramento every 20\u201330 minutes for just $2. 50. Traditional taxis are available at the ground level curbs of both terminals, with a ride to downtown typically costing around $33. If you have downtime, Terminal B's 'The Central' offers a good variety of local dining options.", "country": "United States of America", "flag_url": "https://flagcdn.com/w320/us.png", "flight_search_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=USD", "frequent_traveler_tip": [ "Take SacRT Route 142 if you want a cheap direct ride into downtown Sacramento.", "Leave extra time for Terminal B, because the people mover adds another step after security.", "Monday mornings can be busier than the airport's relaxed layout suggests.", "Use the free Wi-Fi and charging points if you need to work before boarding.", "SMF is often the easiest Northern California airport if your destination is Sacramento, not the Bay." ], "global_map_link": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=Sacramento%20International%20Airport%20United%20States%20of%20America", "google_maps_reviews": { "rating": 0.0, "recent_reviews": [], "total_reviews": 0 }, "hotel_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=USD", "iataCode": "SMF", "icao": "KSMF", "international": true, "last_modified": "June 2026", "last_updated": "2026-03-30", "latitude": 38.695400238, "layover_planner_info": "Amenities are limited; plan ahead for meals and services.", "longitude": -121.591003418, "mct_domestic_to_domestic": 45, "mct_domestic_to_international": 90, "mct_interline": 120, "mct_international_to_domestic": 90, "mct_international_to_international": 120, "missed_connection_help": "Consult airline staff at the terminal for assistance.", "name": "Sacramento International Airport", "region": "North America", "related_airports": [ { "code": "AUN", "name": "Auburn Municipal Airport" }, { "code": "SFO", "name": "San Francisco" }, { "code": "OAK", "name": "Oakland International" }, { "code": "MHR", "name": "Sacramento Mather Airport" }, { "code": "MYV", "name": "Yuba County Airport" }, { "code": "SAC", "name": "Sacramento Executive Airport" } ], "terminal_info": "Sacramento International Airport operates from two main terminal buildings, Terminal A and Terminal B, which are not physically connected airside. Terminal A serves carriers like American, Delta, and United, while the modern Terminal B features an iconic 'Red Rabbit' sculpture and handles Southwest along with most international routes. A landside shuttle bus or a pedestrian bridge connects the two terminals.\n\nThe terminal layout is designed for efficiency, but travelers should note that Terminal B utilizes an automated people mover (APM) to transport passengers between the main terminal building and the airside concourse. Security wait times are generally manageable, but weekday morning and Sunday evening peaks can see increased congestion. Free Wi-Fi and ample charging stations are available throughout both facilities.\n\nGround transportation is well-organized, with a consolidated rental car facility accessible via a 10-minute free shuttle ride from the arrivals area of either terminal. Public transit options are robust for a regional hub, including the SacRT Route 142 express bus to downtown. For travelers needing long-term parking, dedicated shuttles run frequently from the East, West, and South economy lots.\n\nAmenities include a wide selection of Northern California-themed dining and retail shops, providing local flavors from the Central Valley and nearby Napa region. Accessibility services are provided across both terminals, including wheelchair assistance and accessible restrooms. Family-friendly features include nursing rooms and children's play areas in the central hubs.", "terminal_map_url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento_International_Airport" }
