Sacramento International (SMF) is the region’s primary airport and usually functions as the main gateway for both domestic and some international travel. It typically hosts major U.S. carriers and a strong low-cost presence, so fares can be more competitive than nearby Bay Area airports for many routes. SMF sits roughly 10–12 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento; driving or rideshare usually takes 15–30 minutes with fares often in the $25–50 range, while public buses and private shuttles connect downtown or the train station in roughly 30–60 minutes for small fees. The terminal is modern with a good range of shops and rentals, offering convenience for most travelers, though security lines and peak-hour congestion can be a downside.
Denver International Airport (DEN) is the city’s primary international hub and a major connecting point in the mountain time zone, typically serving legacy carriers such as United alongside large low-cost operators like Southwest and Frontier, plus a growing slate of international services. It’s situated well outside downtown—roughly a 30–45 minute drive depending on traffic—yet is linked by the A Line rail which usually takes around 35–40 minutes and fares that can be described as moderate for airport rail. Taxis, rideshares and shuttles are common (drivers and shared shuttles often costing noticeably more than rail). The airport’s strengths include high flight frequency and broad route options, extensive amenities and car-rental availability; drawbacks can be its distance from the city center, large walking distances within terminals and occasional weather-related delays.
