Are there direct flights from Meadows Field Airport (BFL) in Bakersfield?

Meadows Field Airport (BFL) in Bakersfield currently offers direct flights primarily to Las Vegas.

What are the pros and cons of flying from BFL versus driving to LAX for flights?

Flying directly from BFL saves time and hassle, avoiding the drive to Los Angeles and the potentially crowded LAX environment.
