THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!

Christmas Day 2009. Sitting on Yolobus at 1424 (I had missed the hour earlier) for a flight scheduled to leave right around 1500. "I can make it no problem, it's Christmas Day." Get to A. "Oh s--t!" A was completely jammed with bad drivers and overpacked once-a-decade travellers. I was mentally trying to figure how to talk UA into re-routing me through SFO because I was going to miss my flight.

Terminal B was a ghost town. Not a single person in front of me at TSA and I was at the gate well before they started boarding.

Terminal B looks like some small-town airport from 1965 (oh, wait, it IS one). I'll be happy to be in the "old" Terminal A where if you know what you're doing, you can walk from Economy parking and save time and cash. It'll also be nice to have a choice of more than one place to eat or have a beer. As far as I'm concerned, as long as AS/QX move to A as well, life is awesome--newer terminal, better amenities, still no WN pax.

As for transit... Yolobus is $2 now, but still best deal in town. The problem is that Yolobus takes you only as far as 13th and J, and RT stops running at 9pm if you need to go somewhere else. It blows my mind that Sacramento County's transit district doesn't serve an airport owned by Sacramento County. Light rail, yeah right. Maybe in 2050 at the rate we're going lately

RT does serve SAC (Executive), though, for those of us who want to charter a Citation and then take the bus home.
