Transportation & Parking

By Air

We strongly urge you to fly into the Santa Barbara airport—although it may cost slightly more than flying into LA, the time and hassle saved will be more than worth it. Complimentary local airport pick-up is available for conference attendees staying overnight at Fess Parker’s DoubleTree Resort. To schedule an airport pick-up, please contact the hotel directly at 805-564-4333.

For those of you who must fly into LAX, there is a shuttle service, Santa Barbara Airbus, which makes one stop on the way and then drops you a ½ mile away from the hotel. The price is $84 roundtrip (online advance purchase) and takes approximately 2 hours in the best of traffic.
