I decided to check. Using Expedia I looked for flights from OAK to EHR
(Oakland International to Newerk, NJ) and from SFO to JFK for December
9th to 13th.

Oakland to Newark cheapest is $229.
San Francisco to Idlewild cheapest is $233.

Four dollars. But the big difference is the cheaper flight has a two
hour layover in Las Vegas, while the other is direct.
