LAX
This show would probably not have come into existence if not for the events of 9/11. At the very least, it would have been delayed by a few more years. I give it two seasons at the most, the general viewing public is so brain-dead when it comes to their television viewing these days that it takes them hours to realize that "Survivor XIII: McDonald's Drive Through Of Death" has gone off the air and been replaced by a test pattern. Sadly, a similar show was attempted back in 1970.
San Francisco International
The pilot for a television series, it used every cliche you expect in a bad television pilot. The sad thing is, we will probably see most of the plot elements re-used in LAX before the first season is out. The only thing that made this movie bearable was watching it in its incarnation as Mystery Science Theater 3000's "Experiment #614." If you tried to watch it without Servo and Crow to break the monotony, your head would explode.
Unfortunately, there will be no such relief when watching LAX.
