I might end up closer to SJC so would prefer to just drive up to SFO for the 2nd leg. If noticed, would this just get attributed to a gate agent making an error at SNA? Or would the rest of the reservation get cancelled?
Well this one flyer attempted to do this on a paid ticket and did not like the results (But FTers thought different) --
