Don’t know if it is still true, but Alaska used to have a daily flight from San Jose to San Jose. I always found that amusing when I saw the monitor waiting for my Portland (Oregon) flight.

They still sell that flight though there's a stop in LAX now.

It's funny how often this actually happens:

And the opposite, landing in San Jose, CR https://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/san-jose-travel-plane-...

The first link very much reads like a satire piece a la The Onion. Are you sure that's real?

I pulled it straight from Reddit, so most likely

I did the same mistake and only figured it out when checking in because there was a fee for checked luggage; there's no fee only for international flights, only for US/Canada flights.

I've almost done the reverse. I avoided actually booking the flight because I was trying to figure out why it was routing me from Illinois to Miami to get to California...
