This truly annoys me as I would rather catch the LHR-LAX flight but the time it leaves is 2.10pm which is just a horrible time. I would rather catch a morning flight so catch one of the LHR-SFO flights (which ever is less expensive) and then connect to SAN. However, if I do not want to leave until the afternoon I catch the NZ flight at 3.30pm as it is a bit later than the UA flight as it gives me an extra 75 minutes in the city. It really boggles my mind that when they reduced the LHR-LAX flights from two flights to one flight they chose to keep the two LHR-SFO flights both in the morning and put the LHR-LAX flight in the afternoon, so LHR-SFO (am), LHR-SFO (am) and LHR-LAX (pm). I am no scheduling expert but find it hard to believe that it would be too difficult to make the order LHR-SFO (am), LHR-LAX (am) and then LHR-SFO (pm). However, obviously I do not understand the needs for the rest of the West coast customers.

I was one of those who got caught when they did have two LHR-LAX flights and was on the morning flight and then they reduced the flight to one and I got stuck on the afternoon flight - but only that one time. Hate the LHR-LAX pm flight
