Today I booked another chunk of my "homeward bound" air travel, from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Thanks to a tip from Aunt Ann, I scoped out JetBlue- US$29 one-way for a 1.5 hour flight. Considering that Amtrak costs about US$40 for a 9-hour trip with 3 changeovers, and Greyhound is almost the same, it was a no-brainer. Even better, though, is the fact that JetBlue has a web app that lets passengers pick their preferred seat while booking (click the screenshot). I opted for 23A, hopefully far enough behind the left wing that I'll have a nice view out the window.
