West Coast Commute
Assuming someone's not able to hold LGB and is commuting to the East coast, what tends to be the best/easiest cities out west for a commuter? I'm assuming the easiest would be the LA basin. What about SFO? Or LAS/PDX/SEA? I can play around with the route map, but was hoping to hear from people with some experience doing this.

i haven't done sfo-jfk, but i would imagine it is not quite as convenient but is close to being so? |

i can't imagine anything easier than lax-jfk. the 2 biggest cities in the country. up to 30 flights a day it seems like. lots of jetblue flights both ways. don't get me wrong...commuting is painful no matter what. and it's a long flight for sure. but there are so many flights on so many airlines. i never had a problem making it to work or back home when i did the commute.

I did the EWR-LAX commute a couple months. Between AS and UA there were 15+ flights/day and Fedex had 2 nonstops as well. Several times I took that 1:10am depart EWR on Fedex landing LA about 4am. I always got on, never missed a flight. The problem with this commute isn’t making a flight. It’s the 6.5 hr westbound, 5.5 hr eastbound duration along with the 3 hr time zone change. Do this 4 times a month and you’ve spent 2 full days (48 hrs block) in the air commuting. It’s long, tiring, and IMO only a short term solution. I can’t imagine commuting this for the rest of a 30+ yr career. So I moved to LAX.
