The route
The drive from Vacaville to Sacramento (SMF)
It is about 37 miles, and outside rush hour the drive usually takes 40 to 50 minutes. That makes SMF the easy airport from Vacaville: shorter, flatter and far less exposed to bridge traffic than the Bay Area airports.
The usual way is east on I-80 to Davis, north on CA-113 through Woodland and onto I-5 for the last few miles. When the Yolo Causeway is moving well, staying on I-80 into West Sacramento and taking I-5 north can be just as quick.
