Planning to travel internationally? Guidelines have changed

If you are planning to travel internationally please be aware beginning Jan. 26 changes will be made to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (CDC) travel mandates.

Effective today, the CDC will require all international air passengers entering the United States (including U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents) to present a negative COVID-19 test, taken within three calendar days of departure, or proof of recovery from the virus within the last 90 days. Airlines must confirm the negative test result or proof of recent recovery for all passengers prior to boarding. ‹Airlines must deny boarding of passengers who do not provide documentation of a negative test or recovery.

Alaska, American, jetBlue, Southwest, Aeromexico and Volaris offer nonstop flights between SMF and destinations throughout Mexico. Please visit our website or contact the airlines for more information about flights https://sacramento.aero/smf/flight-and-travel/airlines.
