SNA is close to LAX but doesn't use the same radio frequencies or flight paths. The aircraft would not fly over the ocean entering to or departing from SNA.

I recall specifically the flight departed LAX for the eastern US ......

Unless it was some big mistake, there is no confusing the airport.

Yes, you do. When you take off from SNA you fly out over the ocean.
