Sacramento Holiday Air Travel Steadies With Shorter Lines, Though Some Disruptions Persist

Weather disruptions during peak travel kept some flights delayed at SMF.

Overview

  • On Monday, travelers reported shorter-than-expected waits and fluctuating lines at Sacramento International Airport, with many describing the experience as manageable.
  • Some Frontier customers on Sunday faced abrupt cancellations with no same-day rebooking and limited on-site assistance, and reporters said the airline did not respond to requests for comment.
  • FlightAware tallied more than 70 delayed arrivals into Sacramento on Sunday, reflecting lingering knock-on effects across the network.
  • An airport spokesperson attributed part of the slowdown to overnight fog that affected international operations and contributed to delays.
  • The holiday rush drew an estimated 2.86 million U.S. flyers on Sunday, as earlier winter storms also led to baggage delays that left some passengers returning to claim their luggage.
