Local Travel Information
Santa Barbara has a small local airport (code SBA) located very closely adjacent the UCSB campus; however, there are not a large number of flights each day. As of this writing, Southwest, United, Alaska, and American each have flights in and out of this airport.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) will provide many more flight options, but is located ~110 miles (~170 km) from UCSB. If you choose this option, rental cars are available (book early, because selection can be limited and prices can be high during the summer tourist season). Santa Barbara Airbus provides several daily bus trips from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Santa Barbara. Reservations are strongly recommended. You will get off at the GOLETA stop.
