Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from IAD to SBA last minute?
Booking your flight from IAD to SBA last minute could save you some dough if you're lucky to find a good deal. However, tickets usually don't come down in price as the date of departure nears. If you hold out, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken. If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of when you want to leave. It's worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.

From Washington, you can journey to Santa Barbara via Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA), Oxnard, CA (OXR) and Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX). Find out which hub is the best option for you before making your decision. If you opt for Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA), it's about 13 kilometers west of the downtown area. Use the money you save when booking your seat with Expedia to visit the city's top sights, such as Santa Barbara Zoo and Lotusland.
