Local know-how
Mather is not a passenger airport
Rancho Cordova has an airport on its doorstep — Mather, the former air base — but it handles cargo and private flights, not airline passengers. Commercial flights mean Sacramento International, about 25 miles away.
From the office parks and Capital Village, US-50 west into downtown is the quickest start; at rush hour we allow extra time for it.
If you prefer transit, the SacRT Gold Line runs into downtown, where the airport buses leave — workable in the daytime with light luggage.
