LOL. I think you are spoiled Tony. Been in LA many times and yes it is tough. I think though that you need to take a breather to So. Florida, spend couple of hours on I-95 enjoying the total freedom of traffic regulation obedience requirements and arrive to MIA in the middle of the international flight rush, which on Mondays and Fridays coincides with the cruise ship passenger rush. This will put the whole thing in perspective. I think after that you'll go to LAX and start hugging people in the terminal. Cheers!
I'll never understand how you guys can stand large metros. I fly out of either Sioux City or Omaha; when using SUX I can leave my house 40 minutes from my flight time and park less than 100' from the entrance. $300 or less RT to go to Any major airport in the US (other than MSP). Leaving from Omaha isn't much more time than that other than an hour of wide open 70 MPH interstate driving. I make a lot of trips in and around DC and can't fathom how you guys spend 4 or more hours total sitting in traffic every day. Makes my head spin.
Born and raised in Omaha. My parents live out in West Omaha, near Boys Town. Because of that, I've always lived with the following rule: If you can not get from one end of town to the other in less than 30 minutes drive, the town is too big. Seems to work regardless of where I've lived or have relatives: OKC, LAS, PDX, or here in SMF. I had friends in Torrance, which made LAX access easy, as I could go straight up Sepulveda Blvd. But anything else is too much.
As far as LAX goes, it sounds funny, but you may get there faster with surface streets. Worked for us getting to the Grove from LAX, versus the 405 and the 10.

At times on the 405, you can't get from one exit to the next in 30 minutes.
Yes... all true... but it doesnt snow in South Florida where I live..
That's true if you live in So. FLA and are under 40...

I'll never understand how you guys can stand any commercial air service. I leave my house, drive 20 minutes to the airport, park my car in the hangar, preflight the plane and can be in the air 20 minutes after airport arrival. Within 40 minutes of leaving my house, I can be in the air within a day's flight of anywhere in the country putting me at my destination well ahead of any commercial service. From Colorado, I can be in OMA in two hours. #FlyPrivate
Also, you do understand that flights out of KSUX are subsidized by the Essential Air Service Act, right? While I think that this Act offers an incredible opportunity to the country and small communities that airlines typically wouldn't touch because the economics of such would never make sense, I hope you realize that 50% or more of your airline ticket is subsidized by the rest of us. So, you're welcome!

So instead of the usual leaving 4 hours before a flight - 1.5 hours on the 405, another 45 minutes to get around the congested airport roadways and then another hour to get through ticketing/security just in time for the flight to start boarding, passengers will have to allot 6 hours. Might as well just come and sleep at the airport the night before.
