My options to getting to SF: Fly to OAK: $2002 (main cabin) with a travel time of 12:17h, and two layovers (driving is only 11:43h). Fly to SFO: $411 (main cabin) and a 2:09h direct flight. I really don't understand airline pricing.

How insane is $2k to fly to OAK?

Very. It's less than 700 miles by air from me, and I can drive there faster!

Price difference makes sense given the routes. It costs the airlines more (in both fuel and opportunity) if you take three flights instead of one short flight.
