LAX is easier. Read the threads, it comes up often enough.

Boy, is this right. Take it from one who must use FAT frequently, the only way to get a cost effective MR is to take advantage of the weekly e-fare specials to get to SFO or LAX and then do your run from there. Unfortunately, that means a couple of overnights somewhere as the e-fares are only good for Sat-Mon or Tuesday itineraries. Or you can drive to Van Nuys and use the Fly-Away for parking and start at LAX that way. The high FAT fares will kill you otherwise.
