SNA is much easier to get in and out of. It is just like SAN. LAX is a mess and should be avoided at all cost. Having the GoGo account setup is nice since the first time I used it I had to set it up using my iPod Touch and it was a pain. VA is an awesome flying experience. If first class seats are still available within 24hrs of departure it is worth the $50 to upgrade and experience a "international feeling" first class seat. Best of luck!
