Flight from Denver to Sacramento

VictorFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Jan 2026

These flights often delayed so plan at least one day extra. If you must be in Sacramento on time.

MichaelFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2025

Get to the airport early! It was a Saturday and the airport was very chaotic, lots of gate changes, etc. They have a VIP Lounge there you can pay for, if you have the time and inclination, it might be worth it ($90 US for 2 people), it is quiet with food and drink.

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2025

Sacramento has a “two step” process with retrieving luggage on inbound flights. Be aware adds about 45 min to your wait.

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Oct 2024

The gate we were at did not have a designated boarding area. This caused passengers to congregate in the middle of a walkway. The gate agent was clear in telling people to sit until their zone was called, but many did not listen. Whole fruits and vegetables are also not allowed, so don't pack those back to California. Bags were also weighed -- carry-ons could be just 25 pounds or less. This was enforced.

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Oct 2024

Get to the airport early. Long line through security.

BillFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024

Security at Sacramento can take longer than you think it might for a small airport.

AntonellaFlew with Southwest-Apr 2024

Bring a charge / battery for your phone and your own food.
