LAX is a small base, also impacted by the massive renovation that will be concluded over the next few months.

If you want LAX you will most likely achieve it on the first AE you see assuming you are on 320/73/7ER.
Part of the reason LAX doesn’t show in the drop often is due to the size. Openings in NYC can be in the 100s of seats vs about 10-20 openings in smaller bases like LAX. So staffing the NYC seats becomes the priority.
