Airport Information & Terminals
LAX: Los Angeles International Airport. LAX can be slow to exit and road time depends heavily on whether you are going to Santa Monica, Downtown, Hollywood, Anaheim or the Valley. A cheap fare with a bad arrival hour can cost you in transfer stress.
SBA: Santa Barbara airport. Santa Barbara airport transfer should be matched to the exact hotel, suburb or meeting area. Rail can work well for light luggage, but late arrivals, winter weather and family baggage often make a direct cab or booked transfer easier.
