Some travelers think the best airports in the world are shiny and big with amenities like yoga rooms and luxury department stores. They’ve obviously never flown out of Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport (STS).

Traveling from STS is a breeze compared to SFO and Oakland International Airport. Leave the car at home, take Uber/Lyft or SMART train to the airport, and be greeted by Lucy’s colorful help desk along with some of the shortest security lines you’ll ever see. Daily nonstop flights take off to destinations like Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Denver (beginning March 8) and Phoenix.
