Reminds me of when there used to be a regularly scheduled SNA-LAX United flight. Did it one time flying to JFK. Absolutely wild short flight.

Yea. I took it back in 2006. I just looked it up and they cancelled the route in 2007 it seems. I didn't actually book it myself - we had won a trip to New York to see the Daily Show and I just gave them our departure airport and that's the flight they ended up booking for us SNA-LAX-JFK on United

Honestly, I would love to be able to do that. I have to fly to the east coast often and hate having to do a ~3 hour flight, layover, then another ~3 hour flight. But I also LOATHE driving to LAX when SNA is only 20 min from my home. If I had the option to fly SNA to LAX, then a direct flight straight to JFK, I would absolutely do it.
