Oh, AA doesn't go out of CLD anymore?

We are moving from South San Diego to Carslbad in Dec. I was thinking of using CLD, since a friend said you get free parking and good connections from LAX. Must be some other airline.

SNA probably too far than SAN.

Tks

I believe that Eagle's exit from the market followed fairly quickly thereafter, when they decided that the bigger plane wouldn't be profitable after all. I could see how this could create some ill will...

On a side note, they are successfully running 20+ flights a day SAN-LAX... I could see the success potential of a few CLD flights to serve the passengers coming in from the north county.
