This is my first visit to Sacramento’s International Airport (SMF) waiting upon a connecting flight to Seattle for a SharePoint Conference and I must say that I’m quite impressed! Well, I’ll admit I haven’t been to enough airports to say officially but I guess I’ll start with this post and a few more to follow.
First impressions: It’s very clean and bright here.
It’s also remarkably familiar looking if you’ve ever visited your local shopping mall before. That’s because it’s basically laid out like one! They layout and store selection is quite consumer friendly and there’s a store for just about anyone including an electronics store, a store for moms, a massage bar, a wine bar and of course a food court with all your typical local mall offerings.
The tech here is pretty awesome too – LCD’s and flat screens everywhere and free wifi! There are charging stations with just about any gadget connection you could imagine, although it’s a pay station.
The design is modern and very open. I don’t know the exact layout of the airport but it seems like the terminals go in a U-shape with large windows opening up to the runways all throughout for all travelers to see. I did notice that there were a lack of seats on the Southwest wing as there were many people either standing or sitting on the floors waiting for their flights.
I’d rate this airport cooler than Orange County’s John Wayne Airport (SNA).
