Except I don't think anyone else flies non-stop LAX-OAK (or SJC-ONT for that matter). It would require taking the long way via PHX if flying US (and the ability to leave the office earlier and arrive later on the return...plus a Club membership to make the lay-over more bearable).

However, as a mid-level elite, that will yield ~1700 miles each way (~1100 elite qualifying miles with a 500 mile segment minimum).
