Travel information, Directions & Parking
By Air
We strongly urge you to fly into the Santa Barbara airport - although it may cost slightly more than flying into Los Angeles (LAX). The time and hassle saved will be more than worth it. UC Santa Barbara is an easy 5 minute taxi ride (or Uber or Lyft) from the Santa Barbara Airport; a list of taxi services is available below. For Santa Barbara Airport travel information regarding flight, or ground transportation visit www.flysba.com.
United Airlines offers several daily nonstop flights from San Francisco (SFO) and LAX to the Santa Barbara Airport. American Airlines offers nonstop flights from LAX, but flights from SFO transfer in LAX.
For those of you who can't resist the lowest ticket price and fly into LAX, there is a shuttle service (https://www.sbairbus.com/page/display/laxshuttle) that makes one stop on the way and then drops you in Santa Barbara. The price is $94 roundtrip for 1 person (discounted prepaid - if payments are made 24 hours in advance) and takes approximately 2-3 hours in the best of traffic.
