The flights have one stop each way in Los Angeles or San Fransisco, which really aren’t the worst places to spend a few hours.

Those interested in this deal should note that it applies to select dates from late October to the first half of December (because no one gets to fly cheap around Christmastime), and again from February to June 2020.
