Quick Answer:

Vacaville is located almost equidistant between San Francisco International Airport, Oakland International Airport, and Sacramento International Airport. You’ll have great flight options at all three, but each airport offers a different experience when it comes to traffic, amenities, and distance from Vacaville. Read on to see which airport makes the most sense for your group trip, plus tips on charter bus parking, loading, and what to do while you wait.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Address: San Francisco, CA 94128

SFO is one of the largest airports in the country, serving as a major hub for United Airlines and Alaska Airlines. It offers nonstop flights to more than 120 destinations worldwide, making it ideal for international travel or groups who want the most options. From Vacaville, it’s about 65 miles—plan for at least 90 minutes by charter bus, especially with Bay Area traffic.

Your charter bus can drop off and pick up passengers at the departures level of any terminal. There’s a designated commercial vehicle lane—just follow signs for “Charter Buses.” If your group needs to wait, there are cell phone lots nearby where your bus can stage until everyone’s ready to be picked up.

Inside, SFO offers a wide range of dining and shopping, including local favorites like Bun Mee, Lark Creek Grill, and Napa Farms Market. If you have a long layover, check out the SFO Museum galleries scattered throughout the terminals, featuring rotating art and history exhibits. You can also visit the Aviation Museum in the International Terminal before security.

Sacramento International Airport (SMF)

Address: 6900 Airport Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95837

About 45 miles northeast of Vacaville, SMF is the closest major airport and often the easiest to reach thanks to less congestion on I-80. It’s a mid-sized airport with two terminals (A and B) and nonstop service to over 40 domestic destinations. Southwest, Delta, American, and United are the primary carriers.

Charter buses can load and unload at the commercial curb in front of both terminals. There are clear signs for “Commercial Vehicles” and plenty of space for large coaches. If your bus needs to wait, use the free waiting area near the entrance to the airport grounds.

While smaller than SFO or OAK, SMF still has good food options, including Café Bernardo, Jack’s Urban Eats, and Peet’s Coffee. The airport showcases local art throughout both terminals, and there’s free WiFi everywhere. If you have extra time, your charter bus can take you to downtown Sacramento, about 15 minutes away, for sightseeing or a meal.

Oakland International Airport (OAK)

Address: 1 Airport Dr, Oakland, CA 94621

OAK is about 60 miles from Vacaville, typically just over an hour by charter bus. It’s a popular choice for budget travelers, with Southwest offering the most flights. OAK has nonstop service to more than 50 cities, mostly domestic but with some international routes to Mexico and Europe.

Charter buses should use the designated commercial vehicle lanes for drop-off and pick-up at Terminals 1 and 2. There are separate areas for taxis, shuttles, and charter buses—look for the “Bus” signs. If your group isn’t ready, the driver can wait in the cell phone lot off John Glenn Drive.

Dining at OAK includes local chains like Brown Sugar Kitchen, Fenton’s Creamery, and Caffe’ Trieste. WiFi is free throughout the terminals, and there’s usually less crowding than SFO, making OAK a stress-free option for group travel. If you arrive early, your bus can take you to nearby attractions like the Oakland Zoo or Jack London Square.

Napa County Airport (APC)

Address: 2030 Airport Rd, Napa, CA 94558

If your group is flying private or using chartered aircraft, Napa County Airport is only 30 miles west of Vacaville. It doesn’t offer commercial airline service but is a convenient option for corporate groups, sports teams, or VIPs with access to private jets.

Your charter bus can park right next to the main terminal, providing easy access for passengers and luggage. The airport is small and hassle-free, with quick security checks and minimal wait times. While there aren’t many amenities, downtown Napa is just a short drive away for dining and entertainment.
