Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) to CIC last minute?
Booking your trip from SBA to CIC at the last minute could save you a tidy sum if you're lucky enough to find a real bargain. However, tickets don't typically get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you hold out, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. In fact, Expedia has some of the biggest deals up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
What airports do you fly into for Chico from Santa Barbara?
From Santa Barbara, you can fly into Chico through Chico, CA (CIC-Chico Municipal), Redding Municipal Airport (RDD) and Willows, CA (WLW-Willows-Glenn County). It's a good idea to check which hub is the best option for you before making your decision. If you settle on Chico, CA (CIC-Chico Municipal), it's about 8 kilometers north of the downtown area. Use the money you save when booking your seat with Expedia to visit the city's well-known sights, such as California State University-Chico and Bidwell-Sacramento River State Park.
Can I change the date of my flight from Santa Barbara Airport to CIC?
It's a piece of cake to make amendments to your SBA to CIC trip yourself. Log in to the Expedia Trips portal and choose "change flight."
