Guess I'm in the minority. I enjoyed this meta.

I'm not a pilot, but I have some familiarity with airport codes. My first google hit was https://www.flightconnections.com which easily showed that SFO-RNO was the only direct flight option.

Thanks Matt! Now on to the week 4 challenge.

I have mixed feelings about this. Well, not so mixed. I mean, I lost this one fair and square: there was an answer that made sense, but I missed the path that would have gotten me there, or maybe went the wrong direction on it. There definitely should be an asterisk on my streak of 8. Ah well, it's likely to end with this week's puzzle in any event.
