Taxi driver in Chico mentioned the airport still offers free parking too.
So a fare of $50 bucks more from CIC versus SMF/MOD/RDD/SFO etc probably worth utilizing CIC, based on parking savings alone.
FWIW, a recent CIC to SFO flight was 90% capacity, last flight out on a Sunday. Several familiar faces as TSA and flight attendents seemed to know folks by name. I felt like such a loner.
