Travel Tips
Looking to make your next trip stress-free? Remember to arrive early and be prepared! To make sure your travels through Santa Barbara Airport are as effortless as possible, follow these helpful tips and tricks:
ARRIVAL
Arrive two hours early, especially during peak travel times and days (including early morning hours, anytime Thursday–Sunday, and holidays).
PARKING
Don't forget to check parking availability before you arrive! The short-term and long-term lots often reach capacity during peak travel days. The economy lot (140 Frederick Lopez Road) is open 24/7 with shuttle service. Even better: catch a ride from a friend, grab a taxi/rideshare service, or hop on the MTD bus or Wave!
