As someone who makes that trip (I used to do it a lot), it is not cost or time effective to fly with a family. By the time you pack everyone into the car, add almost an hour to get to the airport 90 minutes early to deal with security, check luggage, walk to the gate, sit around, then do the flight, and find a rental car and recover luggage at the other end for a total of about 4 1/2 hours, I can be there in LA in about 5 hours with my own car. I've not flown between LA and the Bay Area since I was a kid traveling on my own to see an auntie. If fettered with security HSR will be almost as bad and it will take longer in transit.

I fly to Seattle but never LA. Even Seattle is not that much different because my final destination is NOT Seattle. Being an hour or more from the airport, it only saves me about 6 hours versus a 12 hour drive.

For business, it is on the company nickel and I'd always fly.
