Santa Barbara Airport – Your Gateway to the American Riviera

Your vacation begins the moment you journey through the contemporary glass-enclosed boarding ramps with spectacular vistas of the surrounding hillsides and into the enchanting Mediterranean-style terminal illustrated with colorful tiles, rustic lanterns, modern art and beautiful Spanish murals. This charming airport is not only a delightful place to arrive at the Gateway to the American Riviera, but it’s so easy.

For passengers coming into the airport, long term and short term parking is just steps away. And, the economy lot is available 24/7 everyday with a free and quick shuttle running every 15 minutes. Plus, TSA couldn’t be easier, with virtually no lines, most days.

For a little pick-me-up, stop at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf ® for a cup of Joe or a glass of iced Tropical-passion tea. If you’re looking for a wonderful dining experience, try the Costa Terraza Restaurant and Tapas Bar.

If you want a treasured memento, or you just want to stop and get something totally local SB, shop the Santa Barbara News and Gifts for some truly unique and memorable purchases.

For business passengers, work while you wait with complimentary WiFi and sixteen spacious computer stations. Arguably quieter than any other airport (arguably because we welcome children too), SBA is a perfect place to work as you prepare for your next big meeting or presentation.

With five major airlines and multiple daily departures, SBA offers you both convenience and comfort. Twelve nonstop flights to Dallas, Denver, Oakland, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Los Angeles—and now Atlanta and Salt Lake City (beginning June 2024)—start your journey beautifully.
