Should we fly into los angeles or santa barbara?

Santa Barbara

  • You don’t waste 2+ hours trying to get to and from LAX
  • You can Uber/Lyft to your hotel for less than $20 and if you are staying downtown you probably don’t need to rent a car
  • The Santa Barbara airport is tiny and very convenient. No long lines and you can arrive 1 hour before your flight home
  • But, flights are more expensive than LAX and there are less options

Los Angeles

  • Flights are cheaper and there are more options
  • More options if you are planning to rent a car
  • There is an airport bus that will take you to Santa Barbara
  • But, it is a two hour drive from LAX to Santa Barbara
  • You will need to arrive at LAX at least 2 hours before your flight home
  • You will spend money to either ride a bus or rent a car to Santa Barbara

should we rent a car?

If you are staying in or around downtown, you probably don’t need to rent a car.  Most activities are either a short walk or Uber/Lyft ride away. Additionally, parking downtown isn't always free and can be hard to find.  If you are staying downtown, you can even walk to our wedding! 

But, if you aren't staying downtown, decide to fly into LA, or would like to drive our beautiful coastline highway, you might consider renting a car.

what's the weather like in november?

You may be under the impression it's always warm and sunny on the California coast. While it's likely warmer than where you're visiting us from, it's likely not going to be as warm as you think. You'll want warm clothes after the sun sets and ocean breeze kicks in.
