RE: LGB
JetBlue also flies into ONT, which is about 47 miles from LAX and about the same from LGB, as well. They serve JFK non-stop from there. A much better alternative to LAX for people living in the Inland Valley, such as myself. ONT was actually the first West Coast flight for JetBlue 2 years ago. I still fly UA from ONT via LAX, and pay basically the same fare JetBlue charges. Thanks Jetblue. :7
