Local know-how
Why fly from Sacramento?
Some routes and fares out of SMF beat the Bay Area airports, and the terminals are smaller and quicker to get through.
From Concord the drive avoids the Bay Bridge entirely: north over the Benicia Bridge and up I-80.
Friday afternoons and holiday weekends are the slow times on I-80 near Vacaville; we leave room for them.
