Worst airport in the US by far. Planes always delayed our cancelled, you always have to walk out on the tarmac even though they have walkways and for the first time ever that I've seen in over 30 years of flying TSA closed all lanes so no one could get to their gate. They didn't care if we missed it flight. I had to call the airline and then the airport itself before one of TSA people decided to come and ask what time my flight was. Once I got through I could hear they were making the last call for my flight so I had to run to the last gate to make it. Nightmare all the way around for such a small small airport which should be so much easier.

Nice small airport. You'll need to plan on waiting a bit for wheel chair assistance, and the restrooms in the actual terminal are a far distance from gate 1 for someone sitting in wheelchair like me. Staff were kind and professional from ticketing, to wheelchair assistance, and TSA.

Not only do I travel around America a lot, I travel by airplane quite a bit and this Airport was wonderful! From the beginning to the end. Obviously it's a smaller airport which helps but to be honest with you the people (even the TSA agents) were so nice and so helpful! I escorted my wife and daughter to the gate for their flight my wife was very nervous traveling with a 17 month old but everybody being so helpful and friendly made it stress-free getting to the gate. The Southwest team helped with getting on the plane and checking the stroller. Everything just went very smooth, and it made the experience enjoyable for everyone. I will drive out of my way to fly out of this airport when possible. Way to Santa Barbara Airport and Southwest Airlines.

First time flying in here to SBA and what a pleasant surprise. Quaint, clean, no crowds, logistics was a breeze, ride share was right out front, and then it hit me...that ocean breeze. I found not only did my attitude suddenly change for the better...but my posture as well.

We try to fly out of SBA whenever we can. It's close to home. TSA has always been quick & the long term parking rates aren't that bad.

Always a pain. No horizontal escalators. Rarely flight on time. Small with low security. Great for smuggling. Recommended if you like long waits, small food options, kids kicking your chair. And of course the null staff. Patricia was stunning tho, so no complaints there.

Beautiful airport, terminal only opened a few years ago and it was done really nicely and in a great setting too.
