Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from National Airport to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) last minute?
Being spontaneous is a fabulous way to see the world, but it's not always the smartest way to find a cheap airfare.

Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Save up that spontaneity for when you're exploring SBA!
