SFO or LAX for connection on UA?
Hi all
Just wondering which airport is better in terms of making a connection, SFO or LAX. Will be flying out to Hawaii this coming Spring and the best package deals I am finding are on UA with a connection in SFO or LAX. Been to SFO once on the former HP and don't remember much. Also flew through LAX once on UA and only remember having a very tight connection. Arrived at the gate for my connecting flight to find that the gate agent was one minute away from closing the jetway door and having her ask me if I ran or what. Sounds like she did not think I was going to make the flight. Thanks in advance Michael |

However, a scan of recent passenger reviews at www.airlinequality.com/ gives SFO uniformly better reviews (3-5 stars) than LAX (1-2 stars) in terms of passenger treatment and comfort. One reviewer calls LAX a third-world airport, poorly designed and lacking in amenities. However, in the month of September, LAX had significantly fewer delays than SFO, due perhaps to better herding of passengers+equipment. LAX is ranked as the 5th busiest airport in the world , SFO is 21st, in passenger traffic. |

However, because of the runway configuration, SFO is more likely to experience delays than LAX. |

SFO or LAX for connection on UA?
I prefer SFO for an online domestic connection with UA. Their Hawaii
flights are only in two adjoining concourses so it is easy to get from one flight to the other. LAX, on the other hand, is a nightmare, with flights in two satellites and United Express in a third, so there could easily be more problems with your connection. wrote in message ...
