Just got based in LAX and wondering how the commute from Las Vegas would be? There is quite a few daily flights but I have no idea how booked they are since its a pretty popular destination???

No way I can afford to live in LA on first year F/O pay...and I really like the Henderson/Vegas area so I am considering moving there to at least be closer.

Any suggestions??:confused:

Or any other tips on "desirable & affordable" places to move to be closer to the LA area with an easy commute? I lived in Redondo Beach for 6 months so I am somewhat familiar with the area. I am looking for a place with a lot of outdoor type activities.
 
RPM,

Easy commute....been doing it a few years now. WN, Ted, USAir every :45 or so. Of course Fri/Sat LAX-LAS flights are generally full, as is LAS-LAX on Sun. The non-rev listing # for WN is 866.359.7967. Good luck.
 
Delta also has 2 ASA CRJ's a day and NW runs 1 319 each day.

I looked out a week in advance on the delta flights, Durring the week is not much of a problem, the weekend traffic into LAS is where it hurts.

Of course being the new guy you will be going opposite that traffic.:D
 
because rent for our 3 bedroom house was 3K a month....it was nice to do it for a little while, just too expensive....
 
Like the others have said, no problem between LAS and LAX...lots of flights on lots of carriers........If you're really in a pickle, you can also do LAX to FAT, PSP, SAN, SNA, or ONT and get to LAX from there on skywest (or eagle from fat).....

i think mesa also does LAS to SBA, FAT, MRY and SBP.........you can get to LA from those places too.....
 
I spent some time in El Segundo about 15 years ago. Love the area and the south bay. I looked at condo prices and I think the 2bd place I rented 15 years ago is going for 700K. Seeing as how I paid half of that for 10 acres and a 4000 sq foot house in Spokane, I don't think, even at my income level, I'll be investing in property in LA.

The plan B?

I'm gonna get a little motorhome for 5K and live in a van down by the ocean. I think even a AE reserve could do it. Prolly cheaper than a crash pad, even.

See ya on the bike path...
 
thanks guys...

yeah DE727UPS...the little 3 bdrm place we were renting sold for about $1.1 MILLION when we moved out and that was in 2002. Its EXTREMELY overpriced there.

I could have bought that same house in my Utah hometown for about $85,000...of course it wouldn't be across the street from the beach with beautiful half naked women walking through the yard daily though.:) Life is full of trade-off's.

Fortunately I'm broke now so my decisions are easy.
 
you think redondo is bad try manhattan that is a nightmare. we jsut moved out of there. then my parents bought a place on the beach in hermosa. its all really bad in the south bay.
 
you could always drive if loads get full... it's about 3 hrs between the two cities depends, of course, on traffic and time of day travel.
 
someone has a lead foot. the fastest i have ever made it is about 4 1/2. plus the chp is nothing but garbage and they love to give tickets.
