The MORONS who designed SMF should be??????
 

Arrived last night in SMF around 10pm and had to wait(a long while as usual)for the rental car shuttle-BTW there was another flyertalker on the same shuttle-but I could not see who the yellow tag belonged to.
The "shelters"are anything but-they are an abriviated V type design so that the elements-wind and rain-are actually directed at the people standing under this "shelter"
Yet another reason to despise this airport.I fell sorry for the folks who have to fly out of there regularly.

my method was to wait under the covered area by the bagage claim and then rush across to make it to the bus when I see it coming.

SMF is just fine
 

Rain, in Sacramento....a rare event.

The relatively small size of the airport makes it a much easier to use facility than most large airports like SFO.

Criticism is overstated and reflects oversensitivity.

I would feel sorrier for the poor people that have to live in Pasadena with all that smog.

When I was growing up, we had a saying for people who complained about everything in California being outdoors: "Go back to Ohio!" :D
