Alleginat, they are running ads in Santa Barbara for driving to Santa Maria and a direct flight to Honolulu for only $148 each way.
Not bad, it is 75 miles, but free long term parking....flying from SB is closer t0 $800 each way.
Now with your recommendation, I’ll have to check them for more flights.
They are a budget, no frills airline but if you just wanta get there are fine. I have been using them for years. Watch their fees though. If you are not careful you can rack them up.
