If I can help it, I'm thinking about only flying to LAX now and taking one of the 785/4785/720 options for my Sac trip. I blame this thread
My planned flight is through Southwest, and is due in at 5:30 pm on August 7th. My main question is, how bad is traffic between LAX and LAUS on a typical Saturday going north? Assuming I can get the 6pm Flyaway shuttle, should I be able to catch the first train of this planned set ok? I see that station-wise, LAUS seems to be unlike STL and CHI on the ten and five minute rules. Am I reading that correctly?
Yes, this is how bad I hate the thought of flying, that I'd rather spend the 8 hours on an Am-Cali bus and the other time on the two trains. The 300 AGR points are just kind of a bonus to the picture, as is the fact that it'd be about half the price of getting a hotel in Sac by that airport.
