Out of curiosity, what's the reason for the switch? Flying to SFO gets you only about 7 more status miles than flying to OAK.

I live in Chicago and need to get to OAK to start this OAK-LAX-MIA-IAD-ATL-IAD-JFK-LAX-OAK mileage run ($155.00). ORD-OAK flights for Jan 28 and returning Jan 30 are expensive, and ORD-SFO flights are a bit cheaper ringing in at under $200.
I would miss my 6pm preferred SFO-ORD flight back if I got into OAK at 5:05pm from LAX. That's why I wanted to change to SFO instead of OAK.

When once you have experienced being a 1K, you will forever fly the friendly skies with your eyes set on 100% mileage bonus and SWUs, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return, every year!
