Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from RAP to SMO last minute?
Booking your journey from Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP) to SMO at the last minute could save you money if you get lucky and find a terrific deal. However, tickets typically don't come down in price as the date of departure nears. If you hold off, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you don't want to risk it, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
What airports do you fly into for Los Angeles from Rapid City?
From Rapid City, you can travel to Los Angeles through Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO), Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) and Bob Hope Airport (BUR). It's a good idea to check which hub is best for you before making your decision. If you decide on Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO), it's about 18 kilometers west of the downtown area. Use the cash you save when booking your airfare with Expedia to tour the city's awesome attractions, such as University of Southern California and TCL Chinese Theatre.
Can I change the date of my flight from Rapid City Regional Airport to SMO?
You can easily make changes to your Rapid City Regional Airport to Santa Monica Airport ticket by logging in to the Expedia Trips portal. But before you make any adjustments, browse the conditions in your itinerary to find out what the airline will let you do and what fees apply for changes.

You can also stop by our Customer Service portal for more handy information and to chat with our Virtual Agent.
