I Believe I Can Fly
See All Lists
1. JetBlue
While every other airline is choosing to be as bad as it can be while staying in business, JetBlue continues to provide great customer service, pretty good prices, and a pleasant in-flight experience. For the flights I've travelled where JetBlue was…More »
2. Ted Stevens International Airport
You know your airport is doing something right if residents are going there for fun. Okay, they're going for Yogurtland (says my Anchorage-resident-friends), but still, this is a great airport. We flew to Anchorage for Labor Day weekend and the…More »
3. Long Beach Airport
Long Beach Airport makes me wish that I lived closer to Long Beach. Coincidentally, it's the airport I flew into when I moved to California (at the time, Jet Blue didn't fly JFK to LAX) and when I flew the Long Beach to Anchorage route for Labor Day…More »
4. Burbank Bob Hope Airport
Burbank, CA 91505
(818) 840-8840
Category:
Airports
Neighbourhoods: Burbank, Sun Valley
For shorter-haul flights, this is a great airport. It's still at least a half hour from me, so LAX is more convenient, but Burbank is nice. Here's why:
- though the short-term parking is expensive, there's less expensive surface-lot parking just a…More »
5. LAX FlyAway
Los Angeles, CA 90024
(866) 435-9529
Category:
Airport Shuttles
Neighbourhood: Westwood
Driving around LAX sucks. The internal circulation is just a mob scene. Every off-site parking garage has some problem or another - and if you're going to be out of town for more than a couple of days, well ka-ching ka-ching. SuperShuttle costs…More »
6. Southwest Airlines
Southwest is good for those 1 hour flights when you're not checking bags. If you're willing to be unable to change flights, then an "On My Way" ticket is handy because it's the cheapest. But if you want some flexibility then you need a full fare…More »
7. San Francisco International Airport
Since when did SFO get a facelift? I usually fly Southwest in/out of SFO, but this time flew Virgin America, so maybe it was a different terminal or something. But man, this was gorgeous. Between the wide variety of shops on-site, good signage,…More »
8. Sacramento International Airport
What's weird is going up to Sacramento for the first time in 10 years to one airport, then returning a month later and being in a whole new place. That happened to me this fall. The weird thing is, that despite the new terminal (and inherently the…More »
9. Air Canada
Having consistently flown Air Canada for flights to and from Toronto over the past 8 years, I have had bad experience after bad experience. The only real upsides to flying them is that they're the only direct flight between LA and Toronto (and when…More »
10. Virgin America
2.5 stars.
When I was 11, my family traveled from visiting our cousins in London back to New York via Virgin Atlantic. This flight was extremely memorable because of the customer service that me and my younger brothers received on the overnight…More »
11. Los Angeles International Airport - LAX
For long-haul flights, there's not too much competition for LAX. And, unfortunate for me, it's closer to me than Long Beach or Burbank, so the time saved in security and navigation elsewhere goes out the window when I factor in travel time.
But…More »
12. Toronto Pearson International Airport
Despite Pearson (terminal 1) having more of a facelift than my local airport (LAX), I really hate this airport. Why do I hate you, well, let me count the ways (aka: 10 Things I Hate About You: Pearson Edition)
1. Baggage check line. Even if you…More »
