The Layout of the Sacramento International Airport
April 12, 2009
There are two terminals in the Sacramento International Airport. These are the original terminal building and the new terminal built in 1998. The total area of the airport building is 5,500 acres. There are two runways that are used by the Sacramento International Airport. One of them is made out of concrete, and the other out of asphalt. They are both just over 8,600 feet long.

The terminals are named the opposite of what one might assume. The first terminal to be built when the airport opened is now called Terminal B. The second terminal, which was added in 1998, is called Terminal A. This is sometimes confusing to passengers. However, once a passenger has been to the airport, they can find their way around because all the areas are clearly marked.

Starting in June of 2006, and lasting until 2012, the old Terminal B is being renovated and will be replaced by a new building. During this time, all the flights will be rerouted through Terminal A, and portions of Terminal B that are not undergoing construction. After 2012, the airport will be completed and will be able to take in even more air traffic.

The airport is set up in such a way that the best way to navigate it is to simply walk through it. The fact that there are only two terminals makes it easy on passengers. When a passenger arrives at the airport, they can consult the signs to find the ticketing agents. After they have their ticket, they can follow the signs to the correct terminal. Once at the terminal, the gates are clearly marked, as well.

Terminal A has several gates. Terminal B is currently separated into two concourses, each of which has several gates. The international flights currently arrive at a separate area, which is called the International Terminal, an offshoot of Terminal A.



How To Get To the Sacramento International Airport
April 8, 2009
The easiest way to get to the Sacramento International Airport is via ground transportation. The airport is actually located very close to the city of Sacramento. It is less than ten miles away from the central business district of this city. Therefore, the easiest and fastest way to get to the airport is to take a taxi or Sacramento airport limo from the city center. The Sacramento Airport sedan limousine will get you to the airport in a short time, and the rates are not expensive.

Another way that one can get to the Sacramento International Airport Transportation is to take a bus, again from the city center. The public transit department in Sacramento has busses that stop at the airport; in fact, four of the main transit lines stop at the Sacramento International Airport. The best way to find out which one will stop at the right time is to consult a timetable for the busses in Sacramento.

The light rail service in Sacramento does go to the airport, although only at certain times. The best way to figure out which times to take the light rail to the airport is to contact the department of Sacramento Airport transportation. Therefore, this is not the most dependable way to get there.



Shops and Restaurants in the Sacramento International Airport

When one travels through the Sacramento International Airport, one can visit many shops and restaurants. The airport is divided into two main terminals. Therefore, the shops and restaurants are also divided into two main areas.

In Terminal A, one will be able to visit five retail outlets in the public area before security. These are Cinnabon, Sbarros, Starbucks, and Nelson’s News and Gifts. After a person has gone through security, they have a much larger selection from which to choose. At this time, they may visit Hometown Favorites, TCBY, Cinnabon, Massage Bar, LA Salsa, Burger King, California Pizza Kitchen, Manchu Wok, Vino Volo, Starbucks, Brooks Brothers, Capitol Marketplace, Nelson’s Books, and the Shoe Shine Palace. There are also several other retail establishments they can visit.

If a passenger is in Terminal B, they also have a choice of shops and restaurants to visit. Wolfgang Puck Express, Starbucks, the CNBC Store, Java City, Prospector’s pub, Chili’s Too, or TCBY are located before security. After they have gone through security, they can visit Gordon Biersch, Capitol Marketplace, Pyramid Alehouse, and Starbucks



History of the Sacramento International Airport
April 4, 2009
The Sacramento International Airport has been open since October 21st, 1967. At this time, it was called Sacramento Metropolitan Airport, as it was not an international airport. In fact, only a few airlines flew out of the airport for the first few years. The airport was not very popular because there were many other airports near by that one could use.

However, the airport became popular later on when the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors decided it would be profitable to have an international airport. They made a few adjustments and changed the name in 1998. Also at this time, another terminal was built. The addition of this terminal, and the renaming of the airport to Sacramento International Airport, were completed by the end of that year. The board had intended that after the airport was modified and the name changed, it would begin to accommodate international flights. The large, new terminal was built in such a way to take care of these flights; however, this did not happen for some time.

Although the airport was renamed to include the word “International” in its title in 1998, the airport did not have an international flight until 2002. During this time, the airport and the County Board looked for airlines that would be willing to run international flights in and out of Sacramento International Airport. They were in discussion with several different airlines, but none could come to an agreement. For a couple of years, the airport and the Board believed that they should change the name back to Sacramento Metropolitan Airport due to lack of international interest.

However, in 2002, they found what they were looking for when Mexicana Airlines began non-stop service to Guadalajara, Mexico. This was due to a compromise between the airline and Sacramento County. The airport could keep its international title, and Mexicana would offer non-stop service. In 2006, the airport was actually designated a Port Of Entry into the United States. At that time, immigration and customs facilities were finalized in the airport. They had not been finalized until this time, because it was not certain that there would ever be international flights out of Sacramento. Once the flights to Guadalajara began and passengers began to also arrive from that destination, the airport board decided it was time to finalize these plans

Booking a Limousine for An Evening Trip to Sacramento, California
January 26, 2009
An evening trip in Sacramento is always special, whether you are a local or a tourist from out of town. The best way to maneuver around the city is by limo. Sacramento city offers a range of exciting, educational and historic attractions. Families will always prefer a visit to the zoo. Research scholars and politicians would head to the state Capitol, which features a park and museum on Californian history or the Governor’s Mansion.

A limo car service is a chauffeured vehicle-for-hire service. The traditional use of a chauffeur-driven limousine is to tour someone wealthy, around town. However, today many people hire a limousine from a limousine service for a short duration, such as to drive them to a special event or for a special evening. A luxury limousine always offers the finest transportation service in Sacramento. These limousines are equipped with state of the art electronics and navigation systems. Special features include XM Satellite radio, direct ipod connections, chrome wheels and complimentary beverages. The chauffeurs are trained to provide outstanding customer service.

Dusk is the perfect time for you to maneuver around in a limousine. When the sun goes down, Sacramento comes alive. As the moon rises, it begins to sizzle. Choose your style of after hour fun from live bands to comedy clubs, wine bars, sports bars, jazz hideaways and country music or hip-hop.

The Sacramento Wine country offers delicious flavors and scenic vistas of the Napa and Sonoma Valley. The place is less than 60 miles from Sacramento. The distance is long, but is worth the effort and interest shown. Hundreds of wineries dot the countryside. If possible take this trip on a weekday when the wineries are less crowded. This valley is popular for its Italian heritage and hospitality.

Italian wine and the Californian sunset should be able to re-energize you. The Jackson Rancheria Casino Hotel is a 24-hour casino and offers all the best games for your gaming pleasure. There are also full-service restaurants for your comfort and convenience. Cruising to a casino in a long, luxurious limousine would always make you the envy of other tourists. At the same time, even if you are not an ace gambler you can still enjoy yourself in the casino.

A limo tour can never be complete without a visit to a lounge. The Marylyn’s on K Street is located in the K Street Mall, downtown Sacramento. The lounge will provide you with an intimate feel. A quiet nook with plush sofas and chairs offers the perfect setting for intimate conversations, meetings or relaxation. Outside, the garden seating with fountains and a fireplace provide a unique retreat from daily stress.

You can move around for some midnight shopping or take a small walk downtown, to any of Sacramento’s parks. The Limousine will take you just about anywhere in Sacramento. Sacramento is made memorable by its nightlife and the best way to enjoy the Sacramento nightlife is to hire a Limo. There is something for everyone in this enigmatic city. Limo Service Sacramento

Review Icon maninblue5 reviewed Inn At Parkside in Sacramento Bed & Breakfasts:

This is in response to my previous review posted on 6/23/08. Was I a dissatisfied customer...you bet. Am I one now? Absolutely not. The new owners have gone above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the customer was completely satsified. It is unfortunate that the problems I experienced under the watch of the previous owner got transferred to the new owners. I am satisfied that they will do their best to ensure a pleasant and wonderous  stay for guests.  The new owners strike me as people who made an investment with not only  their money, but thier hopes and dreams. Despite what happened in the past,  my wife and I would gladly stay at the Inn & Spa at Parkside and recommend it to others.  Give the new owners a chance and write a review so we can start building up the Spa's reputation again. 

Thanks

Review Icon christy1115 reviewed Alamo Rental Incorporated in Sacramento Car Rental:
I woud not have been overcharged on gas if the customer service representative could speak English and was not trying to rush me through the rental car pickup. I chose "prepaid" option for gas, thinking I was locking in gas at $4.16/gallon, which they would charge for whatever the tank needed only. I used only a quarter tank of gas, and they charged me $78.00 for a full tank of gas! They were rude and rushing me when I picked up the car, and very rude when I dropped it off. I tried to ask about my bill and the attendant who hardly spoke English would only say, "this is your receipt", implying it as though I was stupid. He could hardly speak English, and I was in America. What's going on here? I would never go to France and expect them to adapt to my English language. I would never rent a vehicle from them again!

Review Icon vetlee reviewed Doubletree Hotel Sacramento in Sacramento Hotels:
Doubletree Hotel is a pretty decent hotel considering the price. It's not the cheapest but for business travel this is one of the most affordable and comfortable options available. It also has the great location going for it, being near the Arden Fair Mall and the freeways. If the mall isn't your thing, there are lots of other businesses on the neighboring streets Arden and Alta Arden. It's got it all, wifi, pool, exercise room, breakfast etc.

Review Icon minkey reviewed Sheraton Grand in Sacramento Hotels:
Great hotel, from lobby to layout to rooms to service. Your best bet in Sacramento. I think the address on here is wrong though - it's on J and 13th I believe.

Review Icon minkey reviewed Holiday Inn in Sacramento Hotels:
Not bad as far as Holiday Inn's go. When you walk out the door, you've got the K Street Mall on your left and Old Sacramento on your right, which are the two best things in Sac. The pool's pretty sweet.
