The closest airport is Redding Municipal Airport. You can fly to Redding from Los Angeles or from San Francisco. It usually costs more if you are buying a separate ticket. The best thing to do is try to get a connecting flight at the time you purchase your ticket. United Airlines flies to Redding, but if you come on one of their partners, maybe you can get a connecting ticket.

Car Rental
If you decide to rent a car, it is wise to reserve one while you are at home to make sure a car is available. Look at one of the following websites:
www.hertz.com or www.enterprise.com
Please note that you are not permitted to rent a car if you are under age 25.
If you have children, make sure to reserve a car seat for them as there may not be any available that day if you do not reserve in advance.
You must have a credit card (a bank card, alone, does not work).
