The flight attendant on the flight was extremely unprofessional and obnoxious. He treated the entire plane as if we were on a seventh grade camping trip. He thought he was funny but was actually rude to us while we were on the ground waiting to continue to our final stop. It was like being stuck with a bad comedian for four solid hours. We flew from Chicago to Long Beach to Reno over 5 hours and they did not have any food other then graham crackers. Because of being delayed no one had time to get food in the airport between flights. Terrible experience and Southwest should look into this crew member.

Weather is not really a major concern when deciding the best time to leave North Carolina for a West Coast vacation. The winters in North Carolina are mild, while the winters in California are modest as well. So your biggest challenge in choosing a time to visit Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose or San Francisco depends more on the "tourist" season in the area you want to visit. For example, if you are heading for Disneyland and want to save some money, avoid summer, public holidays, Christmas and spring break. However, if you book at least 90 days in advance and don't mind more crowds than those experienced in other times of the year, then you may still find some very reasonable deals. If can book your California vacation either just before or after summer, and avoid major holidays like Christmas, you'll be able to find reasonably priced airfares and hotels.
