“Great airport. I was rerouted from Santa Barbara last min and was a little concerned since I was traveling with a pet. Best airport ever!! Had a potty area outside after security. I could make sure she was ready to get on the plane right before. When you fly with a pet you know the fear of an accident. What a relief for both of us. Plus it was nice to just sit outside in the sun while you wait.“
