Vash, Vash, Vash... all the locals know to avoid LAX like the plague, our favorite is Long Beach if there is anyway to fly in and out of there it is our #1 choice. We even drive the John Wayne in the OC to avoid LAX. I have also heard good thing about Burbank but we would have to drive through he11.. I'm mean downtown L.A. to get there.

RE:Small airport drove a car from L.A. to Brookings OR. closest airport was Crescent City, there was a storm but that didn't stop the puddle jumper from taking off directly over the ocean. I remember looking out at the huge waves and whitcaps and thinking "if we go down we are all going to die."
Crescent city airport is so small they didn't have security, so we flew down to Eureka, got off the plane, went through security, and got back on the plane.

Then there is Medford OR "International" airport... even the locals roll there eyes when they say "international"... if you get there too early or late you better not need to check in... because there is nobody at the check in counters.
