Contrary to Mike's experience above, it was cheaper than going into ONT (which would have been geographically closer for me) and the UA flights to both locations were regional jets, so no difference there. If you're looking for confirmation: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-me-palmdale19-2008sep19,0,5587770.story A few days ago (when the rumors were already making the rounds) I was still able to find late December flights on ual.com. Now I have to hope that Southwest will start offering SFO-ONT service to bring some competition on that route (UA's fares are often ridiculous).

The ticket price into Palmdale was near $1,000 while Burbank was $300. Easy decision. I tired once to fly into Palmdale but would up going to Burbank.
