It may be easy, but less frequency of flights.
SMF-LAX - 16-18 (Depending on the day)
SMF-SEA - 11-12 (depending on the day)
LAX has served me well because it has the most flights and compass does half of those departures on 2 different carriers. Southwest is always a back up especially with having to truck it to the eagles nest if you have a AA trip.
