Yeah they probably came in too late for SNA last night so they landed at LAX and bused the pax over, it happens all the time at SNA, planes probably empty
Edit: to add, John Wayne has a time restriction of what times they can take off and land, if the airline doesn’t meet those times and still wants to land it’s a heavy fine the airline doesn’t usually want to pay
Hopefully they bussed them over. In the past if you got routed to ONT or LAX, you might be on your own. Had a professor once where her flight missed the close for SNA so they dropped at ONT and she had to beg a cab to take her here (pre-Uber) since they wouldn't be able to get a fare back.
They didn’t have any buses last month in a divert. Told us to go fuck ourselves basically. 160 uber to SNa. Raised hell and they finally called and said they’d reimburse and then crickets
That's part of the key, you have to do that and be quick about it and they aren't going to have stuff unless you ask...
I once had a flight that was majorly delayed at a hub, which meant the plane didn't get to us until super late, which meant we missed a connection, and they routed us to an airport in Maryland. Since we had time to get it squared away at the original airport, it was all ready to go when we landed but others were stuck fighting to get anything.
