Flight
Santa Barbara Airport
The closest airport to the venue is the Santa Barbara Airport (SBA). It is a small and adorable airport however, direct flight options are limited. Currently, there are 23 nonstops a day to 12 destinations, including ATL, DFW, DEN, PHX, LAS, SFO, & LAX. The convenience and luxury of flying into Santa Barbara is worth the connecting flight.
Flight
Los Angeles International Airport
Flying into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and renting a car to drive up to Santa Barbara is your other option. LAX is approximately 1.5-2 hours from Santa Barbara. Everything you have heard about LA traffic is true…and then some! For all you east coasters making the trip, it’s comparable to New York traffic. If time allows, it’s a gorgeous drive to Santa Barbara along the coast on the PCH, making stops in Santa Monica and Malibu.
Train
Santa Barbara Airbus
If you choose to fly into LAX and would like to avoid renting a car, you can purchase a round trip ticket on the Santa Barbara Airbus for $110.00. The airbus offers 8 pick up or drop off times each day and is a very convenient alternative to renting a car.
