I'm very dependent on where the best fares are, and it just hasn't been Sacramento recently. I'd love to fly out of there more, but won't pay the premium.
I do have an award ticket on Alaska next month to/from SEA, and will originate at SMF. With $7 a day parking there, and no bridge for me to cross (which jumps to a $4 toll in January, with 2 bridges to cross to SFO ), it's an easy choice for a long weekend trip.
