SACRAMENTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @ SACRAMENTO…read more This was my first time flying through Sacramento International Airport, and overall I had a pretty good experience. One of the first things you'll notice is the giant red rabbit sculpture in the main area, which is definitely a fun and unique feature of the airport. I flew out of Terminal B with Alaska Airlines. My return flight was delayed, but it honestly wasn't too bad. The airport feels spacious, and there wasn't much traffic or congestion while I was there. The bathrooms were clean, and there was a decent variety of food options throughout the terminal. The one downside was the lounge. I would honestly give it a 0/10. The line was incredibly long, and it didn't seem worth the wait unless you're arriving several hours before your flight. We ended up skipping it altogether. One thing I noticed is that the bathrooms can be a little difficult to find since they aren't as visible or frequent as in some other airports, but they are spread throughout the terminal. Overall, Sacramento International Airport provided a solid travel experience. It was clean, easy to navigate, and much less hectic than many larger airports. I would definitely fly through here again.

TSA pre-check a breeze, except I always seem to get selected for the "random" check. Still an easy process. Airport gate seating areas were clean. Restrooms were nice. Fully enclosed private stalls always appreciated.

The jet center, the only fueler at the airport, is perhaps the WORST FBO I have ever had the…read moredispleasure to encounter. Where to start? They won't fuel you if you are not there, effectively, because they won't fuel you unless they get a credit card first. Then, you have to go and get the fuel total from the truck, because they don't allow "call ins" from the fuel truck, even though they clearly have radio contact with the truck. Finally, if you don't meet their "minimum fill", they charge you 30 bucks "handling charge", note, not minimum, handling charge on top of the fuel. When I filled up with them a waited 15 minutes "in line", watching the fuel truck fill a line of airplanes. It occurred to me that nobody was in the airplanes, so I asked them what was up. They were filling a line of flight school planes to put in the hangar for the night. Note this was AFTER I told them I needed to get fuel so I could take off in daylight. Finally, I noticed that they disallowed feedback on this FBO on the airnav web site, by request from the FBO. Apparently complaints about them have been stacking up and they didn't like that. Most FBOs are happy to get your fuel business. This FBO clearly just wants small aircraft to get lost. AVOID. There are other airports in the vicinity.

We were there it was rainy and foggy so no plans were taking off. Some people were working in there hangers working on there planes, but we couldn't see them front the viewing area. They have lots of seating and we took a table and enjoyed our tea we got from Aviators.

The structure and everything about this place made me feel like I was in the 60s but well maintained and not old feeling building.

The day was marginal for weather so, I didn't enjoy what I know is a beautiful view as much as I wished. The airport itself is nicely maintained with cheap fuel, great services and plenty of free parking with tie downs. The approach and departure procedures for the airport are a bit tricky depending on which way the winds are blowing so, be sure to read up on them in the A/FD before your trip.

The airport itself (I am told by a pilot buddy of mine) is fairly well managed and he said there is a better land, tree, etc. buffer around the airport than many foothill towns.

Landing was a bit tricky since the the common use runway (19) has a 18 degree uphill slope. Once on the ground, I found the parking had plenty of tie down chains for aircraft. The grounds, taxiway and runway also seemed to be very well maintained and manicured. Thank you Dave Sheppard for that. The airport doesn't have a FBO per-say but, there is an indoor business center that host a flight school, clean restrooms, a sitting area and a decent soda machine. Fuel prices on Sunday were $5.30 a gallon for 100LL which was great. There's also a nice grass area with three large picnic tables just outside the business centers doors which can easily accommodate 30 persons. If your ever in the mood for some really good pizza. I recommend flying into Westover and ordering from a place called Pizza Plus which is located about two miles away in Sutter Creek (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pizza-plus-sutter-creek). They will deliver to the airport at no extra charge and the pizza is amazingly good. Thanks Noel (Pizza Plus Manager) for taking the time to accommodate our group. If you plan on visiting the airport and having pizza for lunch at Pizza Plus, I'd suggest (if you have a bluetooth headset) calling in your order about 20 NM before you land. Good pizza takes a minute but, great pizza, especially if it's delivered takes forever.

My son has flown in here and in taking off and landing with him flying I did sort of question the location a bit. Unfortunately the landing strip is very near a main road and I've noticed several times coming down that road in cars when a plane is landing can be something of a harrowing experience. Aside from that, and though it has very few amenities, it has many fans here in Amador County, and I guess I'm one although I'd like to see it in a different location, not surrounded by the largest stores in the county.

Perfect little airport…read more The Stockton Metro Airport might just be the most convenient airport there is. If you drive yourself there, you will see two large parking lots where they offer paid overnight parking. There are plenty of spots available so there is no need to arrive extremely early to hunt for an open spot. There is a kiosk inside where you can conveniently pay for parking when you wait for your belongings at baggage claim. This is definitely not an airport where you have to follow the general rule of showing up two hours early. I have shown up less than 30 minutes from boarding time and made it to the gate with plenty of time to spare. If you do decide to come early and have daytime/early evening flight, you can stop by the small restaurant for a bite. Since the only flights out of STK Airport are to Phoenix and Las Vegas, the majority of travelers don't check a bag. This makes the bag check line super short and quick. The TSA line also goes by super quickly. There is only one agent to check IDs, but there is never any hold up. Even through the government shutdown, I experienced no TSA delays. For travelers with TSA Pre-Check, you'll likely be the only person in line and will get through even quicker. It only takes a few moments to get through the security clearance before you're greeted by a large waiting area and bar. The waiting area by the gates is quite spacious. Right before the flight boards, it can get quite packed but there are typically still seats available. The intercom system is awful. It sounds like static. If you pay attention or sit closer to the gate, it shouldn't be an issue though. The bar is the perfect addition, especially before Vegas flights. Many people taking that weekend night flight to Vegas uses the bar as a pre-game for their night out. Don't expect to sleep on those flights, they're super rowdy! The drinks at the airport bar are typical for airport prices. We got three drinks for $27. The bar, of course, is limited on what they can make due to their few ingredients. My margarita was made with mixer and had nothing on the rim. Despite being super busy, the bartender got the drinks out super fast. He ran that bar by himself like the military and with style. He slid the drinks across the bar top giving everyone a little show too. Because the departing flight is directly dependent on the flight coming in, there are sometimes small flight delays. They have to deboard everyone and do a quick pass through to let everyone else on which can take a while. Despite what you may think about Allegiant Airlines itself, this is a fantastic airport, especially for those wanting a weekend getaway or a connection to a larger airport.

He dropped me off and I checked out and flew the plane out of here and into Stockton. Before departing, I ran into their FBO to check things out (I had to go potty). Calaveras is a neat little airport with the basic amenities that every pilot needs and looks for when on the stop and go. A clean restroom(s). Accessible fuel pumps that take either credit or debit cards, a snack machine that accepts dollar bills and coins and a well maintained airport and runway. I's a cool little spot to stop and have either breakfast or lunch before heading up and over the Sierra's or back home to the bay area.
