The reason for choosing LA was that it seems from web searches that it
is better connected for direct flights to NZ from the west coast
compare to SF. So we would fly in and out of LA, pick up a car and
headout to SF only returning to LA airport.

IIRC I flew into LAX from HNL then down to SFO, the return to LHR was
similar just used LAX as a stepping stone. The leg from HNL might
have been direct to SFO.
