DIRECTIONS
FROM LAX
Getting here from LA is easy as pie-you’ll just need a car to do it! If you are flying into LAX and renting a car, you can expect a 2h drive to Santa Barbara from the airport. Take the 405 to the 101 and straight on till SB.
If you do not wish to rent a car, there is also an amazingly easy shuttle service that goes directly from LAX to Santa Barbara called the Santa Barbara Airbus, schedules and fairs found HERE.
FROM SBA
If you are flying straight into the Santa Barbara airport, you can expect swift airport experience getting off the plane and straight into a cab or Uber to take you to your accommodations.
Uber or Lyft is easiest option for pickup, so we encourage you to download those apps!
