SW Flights from OAK to PVR and SJD
The new direct flights from OAK to PVR and SJD really make the companion pass and SW rapid rewards points valuable. Only 7K points to redeem one way tix on trips to Mexico. Also, customs at OAK pretty simple compared to SFO or LAX. No first class but price is right and relatively painless for SW flights.

I was also pleased to have another option to SJD for our annual excursion. That being said, from what I've seen WN's fares are just as high as the competition, and there is no chance of an upgrade to F (something that we've often managed on UA and AS).
I have no experience with CBP @oak but it is hard to imagine that it would be better than SFO for those of us with Global Entry. I am usually out the door within 10 minutes of landing @sfo. Also no free lounge options @oak, at least not yet.

However the Cabo flights were pricing at $311-418 one way for peak summer weekends. Not close to free and not really competitive.
