FWIW - $250 is way down from 3 months ago. Most know that I fly LAX-SFO almost weekly and flights are down from over $550 to around $250 in the last few months. Used to be B fares only and now they have fully changable refundable V fares.
As mentioned there are many business folks that will pay the premium to fly LAX-SFO or SNA-SFO. Me included.
And as I used to live in the OC, I do miss that valet parking. Call when you land and your car is there all washed and clean and is out there before you even walk out. ^
However, I have a Land Rover not CLK (at least for another month).
