Local know-how

When SMF is worth the drive

From Fremont, Sacramento is the farthest of the three airports, so it only makes sense for a particular flight.

There are two ways north — up the bay shore on I-880 and I-80, or inland on I-680 — and the better one depends on the time of day.

We suggest leaving about four hours before a domestic departure.
