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!
ACI-NA welcomes @FlySMF's Director of Airports, Cindy Nichol, as Chair of Airports Council International–North America. Her leadership will help advance shared priorities for airports across North America.

@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. 🫡📺✈️
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. ✈️✨

@adam_pollock7 We’re only closing one level at a time while construction continues. If you go to https://t.co/zIZYvGh0tU, the homepage shows real-time parking availability. If the garage drops below about 250 open spots, we’ll likely close it to prevent circling.
@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.
Thank you to the TSA and Air Traffic Control teams continuing to work without pay to keep travelers safe and flights on schedule.
Screening times and operations at SMF remain normal. We’ll share updates if anything changes.
