Such a special little airport. Friendly staff. It’s a beautiful airport and looks pretty old in a good way. I like that sometimes when you get off a plane you don’t even have to walk inside. They just let you walk outside.

Such a cute airport. Cozy, hometown feel. Baggage claim is unique and fast and bags are dropped from a window. Quick walk to gates and baggage claim. My only complaint is that I wish the rental car locations stayed open until the last flight arrived (closes at 10PM). Uber/Lyft pickup is right across from the exit. Easiest airport ever!

Beautiful. Speedy check points. Clean. Would fix the tray operation for carry on. That would make it faster and smoother. Restrooms large and clean. Small airport so quick drop off and pick up. Sometimes better prices than LAX or Burbank but sometimes much higher. Always love traveling from this airport.

Airlines which fly in and out of SBA?

Suvi Bayly | Sep 7, 2018
Erica Barton | Sep 7, 2018

I don't know all of them, but every time I've been there, its been American and United. They are the dominant players, and that usually includes their smaller regional lines. So for American, its American Eagle (run by Mesa) and I believe United Express for United.
