To Time2go1st, if I was in a rush to get LAX, then yes. But SFO777 got it right on, STL-LAX I thought was always an easier upgrade, and I wanted to see STL after the dehubbing (childhood memories

) , mind you I don't need too much time in STL. 3 hrs was more than enough for what I wanted. STL-LAX got cleared at T-112, fare was around 75 bucks cheaper and frankly more EQM as well
