It is coach ......
arriving LAX tuesday noon local, departing 1215am. (15min into the next day, the red eye.)
Essentially 10hrs in LAX area.
Yea? Nay?
Or I can do a weekend day but use all my points and still shell out 150
Plenty of time to do something interesting. Rent a car (may want to Priceline it). Mass transit is an option but not the easiest way to get around. Drive to some place you want to go (avoid the beach since you are already at a beach, unless you really like a beach or want to say you stepped foot in the Pacific or something).
