Santa Barbara Airport TowerThose looking for a quick pleasure trip need look no further than our own Santa Maria airport for transportation to that get away of all get aways, Las Vegas. You don’t have to go to Santa Barbara or Los Angeles for a direct flight anymore. And, after you’ve driven through traffic and paid a daily fee for parking, are you really relaxed anyway? Santa Maria airport offers a convenient location, free parking, and a relaxed atmosphere for the start of your journey. Direct flights to Las Vegas are offered through Allegiant Airlines, and rates begin at the unbelievably low price of about $20 each way.* Direct flights to Los Angeles International Airport are also available through United Airlines. Remember to support our local airports when booking your next flight. Santa Maria Airport is a 15 minute drive from Vandenberg AFB.
I know the Santa Maria Sun publishes a list of local favorites every year, but because I LOVE sushi so much, I feel qualified to publish my own list of favorite sushi restaurants in Santa Maria. If I were going on a business lunch or going out to dinner I would probably go to Ichiban (805) 614-9808 at 2011 S Broadway (next to Family Health & Fitness) great authentic food, private booths and sushi bar seating available.
