Most US cities have multiple airports. I'm not as familiar with LA although I know there's John Wayne Airport in Orange County, but in the SF Bay Area a lot of flights go to Oakland and some to San Jose. The gate fees must be lower at Oakland because a lot of the low cost fares go there--and Oakland is as convenient to downtown SF as SFO is by BART. In fact, it seems the bargain carriers often use these secondary airports.
