It takes an hour or more to get to SFO from almost anyplace in the city, and I suspect LAX is worse. If you're not at the airport at least an hour early these days, you may get bumped. Stress. Security checks. Rude airline people. Delays, cancellation with little or no reimbursement. A bag of stale peanuts. An hour down, and fiddle around more in the destination terminal. Rent a car to get around. That's at least four hours right there, and probably more.
And NO airline is going to be offering $39 flights in California.
Meanwhile, I could take a leisurely drive down 101. Stop for lunch. Enjoy the ocean. Relax. Take a friend or two and save them and you some money. Pull over once in a while and stretch our legs. When I arrive, I'm in my own car. I head right for my destination.
Of course, rail would be even better, and hopefully cheaper. But this is America. We want to make a few people rich at the expense of everyone else
