I don’t want to fly into SMF and drive because I don’t want to rent a car and drive into Redding and they have an extra car anyway.
How do I do this? Thank you so much. I’m not a novice flyer but ive never done this before.
Oh also depending on price, I prefer business or first or economy plus but will take economy if I have to.
I do not have status on any airline.
Not many options unless you want to drive to Redding from some other airport
Great Circle Mapper

Anyway ff miles should be the byproduct of flying an airline, not the reason to fly an airline. FF miles are not worth much
