I've never combined flights on different carriers -- any lessons on do's and don't's?

Similarly, if anyone has any recommendations for LAX-ZIH flights I'd love to hear them.

Thanks!

I've done this, but delays on one carrier won't always be taken into consideration if they affect your ability to travel on the other. So flight delays could result in change fees or cancellations that you would not incur if you were on a single carrier.
