Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from CIC to Santa Maria Airport last minute?
Booking your flight from CIC to SMX last minute could save you a nice sum if you hit the jackpot and find a real steal. However, fares typically don't come down in price as the departure date nears. If you hold out, flights could also be sold out or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you'd prefer to play it safe, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.

With Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX), San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP) and Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) to select from, journeying from Chico to Santa Maria is no sweat. The city's main terminal, Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX), is about 6 kilometers south of the center. Apart from the price of tickets, consider factors like bus or train options from the airport and the distance to your hotel when deciding where to fly into.
