Thanks for the replies on my LAX connection. I have backup plans that include driving from LAX to San Diego. My original plan was to avoid driving through any part of LA. I had some extra miles and the flights were from Santa Barbara on United to LAX and San Diego on Delta. Seemed like a good plan at the time but with the schedule change I don't think we can make it. I will probably take the United flight and drive to San Diego.
Apppears that LAX is almost as bad as LA traffic.
