wsanders, AA discontinued SJ to Tokyo service. I also think they had lengthened the runway a few years ago so that the Tokyo plane could take off with a full load of fuel.

While Southwest Airlines may have started flying out of SFO 's Terminal 1 this week, they won't start to fly from there down to LA until November 4. That's right. Not anywhere in LA, not Burbank, nor LAX nor Ontario. You can make your Thanksgiving and beyond-amundo travel plans to LA now, but if you are one of the throngs of gay men and thier friends & admirers who will be gathering at The Hollywood Bowl on Sunday September 23, to see gay crooner Rufus!Rufus!Rufus! Wanwight do his last ever! Judy!Judy!Judy! Garland concert tribute, you'd better fly on Southwest out of Oakland, baby, or take the dreaded United Airlines flight out of SFO. Why isn't Southwest more sensitive to our needs?

It's not elitism. It's marketing. Southwest is a business, not a social welfare program, you know?

Well, last I heard, BART does not allow you to bring your 737 airliner on board. It's crowded enough at rush hour already. > There was (still is?) an American flight from SJC to OAK too. It went on to Tokyo, but SJC's runways were too short to allow it to take off with a full fuel load. But you could book an SJC to OAK trip on it.

mariconsoy, I remember those SFO-OAK flights. Never took one, however. The emissions from that flight had to cancel out a whole lot of BART trips...

Do they fly SFO to San Jose? It will shave my commute time way down. BTW United did at one time fly SFO to Oakland. No kidding- one weird flight a day as a stop over.

I just hate those seating cards you receive to board. I feel inferior when I have a triple-digit number and the dork next to me at the gate has a single-digit card.

"elitism over at swa" ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, I can't stop laughing, I really can't. Is there nothing in this world that an anoymous SFist poster can't find in some way unfair?

i just called southwest... apparently this offer just went out to "select" rapid rewards members and not everyone is eligible. but just what criteria they used to determine who gets the triple points they couldn't tell me... something stanks of elitism over at swa.

City Hall to SFO on BART is a cinch (via Google Transit)!
