We flew Alaska from lax terminal 6. It is also run down. Hardly any seats and bathrooms are gross every time we go.
Right! So there can be a stop. Or even two. What people mean when they say "direct" is "non-stop."
Mine too!
Correct but if you have a snowstorm in CDE your travel plans will be impacted. Much better to search out the non-stop option and fly from ABC to FGH.Correct...while ABC>CDE>FGH on flight 1234 is a "direct flight" the non-stop leg of CDE>FGH is also a techncially direct flight...both terms are appropriate for that leg. Non-stop is a just a subset of direct flight.
It is kinda like the soda vs pop argument...while there are preferences, both are correct in communicating what you mean.
Everyone agrees that SNA is superior. The question is if risking a connection is worth it? I would vote for no.Direct is NOT the same as non-stop, particularly in winter or summer months where weather can affect your connecting flight. Orange County/Santa Ana/John Wayne is a far superior experience vs LAX and a much shorter drive on most days. SNA all day IMHO.
Sorry to report Jet Blue pulled out of LGB. They wanted an International terminal with customs, Long Beach said no. LGB is mostly Southwest now.The drive to and from is one thing but dealing with the congestion-confusion inside LAX is another.
If the direct flight is way faster in the overall time to get to DLR then maybe it would be worth it. Otherwise John Wayne (SNA) it the only way to go. Long Beach (LGB) is a nice small airport too. I would fly JetBlue when they had flights our of Portland, Oregon.
