flights
FLYING INTO LOS ANGELES
Santa Barbara is easily accessible from the Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), but if you’re flying into LAX, consider driving along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway. The drive takes about 1.5-2 hours, depending on traffic, and offers stunning coastal views. Alternatively, you can take the Amtrak Surfliner, which travels along the California coast and stops conveniently in downtown Santa Barbara.
FLYING INTO SANTA BARBARA
For the most convenience, we recommend flying into Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), just 10 minutes from downtown. It’s a quick and easy way to get to the heart of the city.
