Part of that famous Virgin flexibility. Never mind that SFO has terminal and airport that is 10x better than LAX T3 (the most rundown and crowded of the LAX terminals, as it was expected to be torn down by 2010).
VA also has an interline with DL which makes LAX it US hub fairly obvious. The issue with VX and SFO is that there is less O&D traffic, the TPAC gateway is still LAX and SFO is greatly affected by fog.
