Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from COU to Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX) last minute?
Booking your flight from COU to SMX at the last minute could help you save if you get lucky and find a real bargain. However, tickets generally don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you wait, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken (we hope you like the middle seat!). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of your departure date. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.

From Columbia, you can travel to Santa Maria via Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX), San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP) and Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA). Determine which airport is more convenient for you before making your decision. If you decide on Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX), it's approximately 6 kilometers south of downtown. Use the dollars you save when booking your airfare with Expedia to visit the city's top sights, such as Boomers! Santa Maria and Santa Maria Valley Historical Society.
