✈️ Big milestone for @FlySMF: nearly 14M passengers in 2025, the busiest year in the airport’s history! (+2% YoY) With the SMForward modernization plan underway, Greater Sacramento’s connectivity keeps growing. 🔗 Read on: abridged.org/news/sacrament…

Flying soon from SMF? Security wait times may fluctuate during the federal government shutdown. Please arrive at least 2 hours before departure. TSA officers are continuing to serve travelers during this time. Thank you for your patience and kindness.

Over the past week, three of our @flysmf Airport K9 teams have been deployed to Santa Clara in support of Super Bowl security operations. These teams conducted K9 sweeps of the stadium and surrounding infrastructure as part of a coordinated, multi-agency effort. The K9s are explosive detection K9s, specially trained to locate explosive materials and support large-scale public safety operations. Awesome to see the work our Deputies and K9 handlers are doing behind the scenes at the Super Bowl!

@davidubben YES I want that so bad 😭And random fun fact: the marketing person (me) named their kid Shia because of this. Even Stevens walked so we could run. Absolute respect paid. 🫡📺✈️

Connecting in Sacramento. Never been to the airport but I don’t see the Even Stevens exhibit. Can someone direct me to the gate where it’s located? Need to pay my respects.

Holiday travel is kicking in, and even though SMF is way easier than most airports, we’re still expecting some very full days this season. ✈️✨ flysmf.gov/articles/holid…

We’ve been keeping a secret in Terminal A… and it involves bread. Really good bread. Ribbon-cutting happens November 19. More soon 👀🥖

@adam_pollock7 We’re only closing one level at a time while construction continues. If you go to FlySMF.com, the homepage shows real-time parking availability. If the garage drops below about 250 open spots, we’ll likely close it to prevent circling.

@FlySMF just outta curiosity - how many levels of the existing Parking Garage will be completely closed and unusable during the holiday season?? I'm traveling on the 29th and need to know - should I show up at 3 am or 3 pm the day before to get a spot in the parking structure???

@MelanieMonroe Since it’s a busy travel weekend with Veterans Day, we suggest arriving 2 hours before your flight. If you’re getting dropped off (and don’t need to park), 90 minutes should be fine. Giving yourself extra time is always a good idea.

@FlySMF Is security flowing smoothly? Is it safe to arrive the normal 1-hour before boarding?
