Unless your origin and destination on both ends are very close to the respective airports (e.g., El Segundo to downtown SD), it makes little sense to fly on an OD basis between the two, IMHO.

If there was a robust LAX-SAN OD market, I'd bet that we'd have seen WN, the king of the intra-California OD market, participate in it.
