Really! How often does that happen? I supposed they would just end up canceling the flight rather than diverting, right? Unless something happens mid flight that causes the delay?
LAX
Not very often. I lived in Irvine for 5 years, and flew at least 15 trips out of SNA every year, and it happened to me only once. Even then, the airline was very accommodating and got me on a Super Shuttle from LAX to my home without problems.
SNA is one of the best airports in the Country! Enjoy it!
