We travel to Los Angeles quite often and Southwest has been a great inexpensive and convenient way to go.
Its about an hour flight and carry on bags are au gratis. Quirks are seating is first come, but for an hour, its alright if I don't sit with my husband.
No frills but completely worth it; there are no movies or fancy snacks. Have a peanut or two. ( if you're not allergic)
So far 28 of our 30 flights back and forth have been on time. Way to go- literally.
