I can't wait to go to California next year but maybe you feel differently... if you go to Boston/NY, go right now or in August/September because that's when the weather is best. I agree that you should take a direct flight if you can -- I hate layovers, they're such a waste of time. oh keep in mind if you do have a layover, you can't use your laptop 20 minutes after taking off, and until landing (40 minutes of pure boringness), it also takes 20 minutes for all the slow people in front of you to get off or board the plane (40 minutes of annoyingness-is that even a word), etc. I vote Seattle partly b/c I’m so sick of the northeast.

Fly direct, don't purposely attempt a layover. If you're worried about laptop juice, then buy an extra battery and swap mid-flight. JetBlue's terminal in JFK has free wireless (as does the LGB airport) but they're kinda flakey. SJC NYC is 5.5 hours. Fly direct, don’t purposely attempt a layover.

The idea of flying from London to San Francisco with a <b>layover</b> horrifies me - even that far, I'd much, much rather fly direct than twiddle my thumbs in some airport. Whereas you consider a layover a feature even on a flight with a total flying time of four hours. It’s interesting how our approaches to flying differ.

SJCLAX was on sale for $25 one-way this weekend. And if you aren't able to find a cool trip, consider selling your tickets, too. Don’t forget to compare the prices to those offered by Ding!
