My first time at the new Sacramento WN termnial. A few observations:

The main ticketing/baggage claim building is lovely and nearly library quiet. You do have to take escalators to get anywhere, but this does not seem to cause any problems.

There is no A list check-in/baggage check line anymore.

The people mover cars are very crowded. The sherrif deputy posted near the entrance to the train said that they have been crowded all day and, "this is not even Thanksgiving." Could prove to be a real weak spot in the design. There are two trains each carrying 60 passengers on a short ride to the gate building. I did not see any way to make the trip on foot.

The security area is improved from Terminal A....and, thank heavens, no full body scanner equipment.

The gate area is quite congested in the Southwest wing. I think there are fewer seats at each gate than in the old terminal, but many of the seats do have a power outlet. No place to set your laptop, however, except on your lap. The old "bar seating" laptop desks are gone. It is more congested than the old terminal.

Southwest is having problem with its gate scanner system, so boarding is taking a long time today. No doubt this will be repaired soon.

Great local favorite restaurants coming soon---Dos Coyotes (mexican food) and Jack's Uban Eats (salads, sandwiches).

Nice smooth flooring with no seams, very good on roller bags.

Lots of room for expansion---spare gates and spare check-in counters galore.

All in all, a good B+.
