Authored on
Body

Looking to make your spring travels stress-free? Remember to arrive early and be prepared! Follow the helpful tips and tricks below to make sure your travels out of SBA are as smooth as possible. 

ARRIVAL
Arrive 2 hours early, especially during peak travel times and days (including early morning hours, anytime Thursday–Sunday, and holidays).

ONLINE PARKING AVAILABILITY
Real-time parking availability is now available online! Before you arrive, check to see how many spots are available in the short-term, long-term, and economy lots.

PARKING
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 bus!

FLIGHT STATUS
Check with your airline directly for updates on your flight status.

CONSTRUCTION
Ongoing construction may impact Highway 101 and Route 217. Please allow for extra time to account for potential detours and delays.  

WEATHER
Keep an eye on the weather forecast. Inclement weather systems can potentially impact flight operations.

PICK UP 
Picking up loved ones? Remember: parking at the curb is not allowed. Please utilize the two nearby cell phone lots while you wait.
