I see this ALL. THE. TIME. Is there anything I can do to make this work? It seems like I can't miss the SAC>LAX leg or they'll cancel the whole flight, correct? If I call the book, would they give me the more direct routes at the same price? Or can I book online and then call to change?
How does PHX>SMF + SMF>LAX>OGG compare to PHX>LAX>OGG?
