BOI>>OGG in Jan 2023 - Which City to Connect?
Due to a schedule change I now have the option of connecting at LAX, SFO, SJC or SEA for a January flt. Which airport would you connect through? SEA often has weather issues in the winter. SFO & SJC can have also have weather issues.. LAX a good option, weather wise, but last year my LAX-OGG flt was cancelled.
I like SEA b/c there are more options if IRROPS occur. Your thoughts?

I’d probably take SJC too, but who knows if that BOI-SJC will even be operating then…it’s a bit of a crapshoot to assume it will be at this point. You’re safer w/SEA, but you can always change it again later as you’ll have tons of schedule changes between now and then anyways.

Good thoughts. Originally scheduled to depart BOI at 10:25am, via SFO. That flt canceled and they proactively offered me the same routing but now departing at 7:15am. Should I just not make a decision now and see what happens between now and Jan.? Or would you call in and ask for the BOI-SJC-OGG routing now?

I just called in and switched to SJC option. I'm guessing there will be 1 or 2 more schedule changes between now and January. Thanks to both of you.

No ANC? 
SJC should be a good option. Which gets you into OGG the earliest?

shouldn't have issues. If you have status you have better upgrade chance. When I’ve flown from CA I’ve gotten upgrade to FC
