Local know-how
SMF from the Delta
Discovery Bay sits between two routes north: the river road on CA-160 to the west, and I-5 through Stockton to the east.
Both avoid Bay Area traffic, which is why SMF is often the easiest airport from here for domestic trips.
We allow about three and a half hours before a domestic departure.
