What is the most beautiful tropical beach destination within a 12 hour flight of San Francisco?
We've done Hawaii, we've done the Carribean - this fall we want to try someplace new. Where are some places that are not ourtageously expensive (like Tahiti) are relatively safe, and aren't any farther away from SFO than about 12 hours? I'd love some ideas!

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO! beautiful island.... go there...only 8 hour flight. :D
2 :
The Pacific coast of Costa Rica, I guess.
3 :
Cook Islands? There's a weekly flight from LAX on Air New Zealand, 9 hours. It's a beautiful place. Small, no huge skyscraper hotels, no crowded dirty beaches, its small, intimate, and has some lovely small hotels (from 2 star to 5 star). Amazing white sand beaches, warm clear water, coral reefs, its paradise!
4 :
Fiji is not outrageously expensive - and there are many other south pacific islands besides Fiji and Tajiti and Bora Bora. I think the south pacific islands have the most beautiful beaches.
5 :
You will be surprised to see that you may find deals to Tahiti that are not outrageously expensive...

Can someone tell me the flight path for the Emirates flight from San Francisco to Dubai
Can someone tell me the flight path for the Emirates flight from San Francisco to Dubai?
I know it goes over Canada, the North Pole, and Russia but can you be more specific. Does it go around northeast Canada first or go directly north and fly over Oregon Washington and Vancouver. Does it fly over the center of the North Pole or go to the side where Greenland is. And where over Russia. Maybe Moscow. Please help.

Sometime tomorrow, after 445PM PDT, go to the URL shown below and enter EK 226 for April 16. You should get a response of the fight times and in flight. Click on the "In Flight" and you will get more info including a map of the flight's route. If this does not work, email me. Long distance flights follow the great circle route. To see this check the second URL and enter SFO to DXB the codes for the airports and you will see a presentation of the great circle route between these two airports. The great circle for this trip is to head 002 degrees which will take the flight just to the right of the north pole and then head down over Russia starting just east of Novaya Zemlya, about 50 degrees East longitude, and follow just east of this longitude all the way to Dubai.

I am not a top contributor because I dont spend 14 hours a day in front of the puter, but I know how the real world works, ' The flight path varies from one day to the next due to weather, ATC, whatever military OPS may or may not be happening, especially as they flyover Russia and the Middle East and aircraft performance. That site or www.flightaware.com will show what path occured on a certain day, but it may be different tomorrow and the next,

San Francisco to Houston = 3 hours 34 minutes Houston to Madrid = 11 hours 25 minutes (40 minute stop in Chicago) San Francisco to Dallas = 3 hours 30 minutes Dallas to Madrid = 11 hours 55 minutes (1 hour 10 minute stop in Philadelphia)

The flight to and from Texas really depend upon where in Texas you are going, its a big state so it can affect the times... But here is an example. A direct flight from San Francisco to Houston is approx. 3 Hrs 23 Min and then to continue on to Madrid from Houston it would be approx. 8 Hrs 48 Min

Okay, about the air fare. I highly doubt you'll get a ticket for less than $500 minimum, even on price line. I would be shocked beyond belief if you did manage to pull that off. Check Hawaiian Airlines right now. I just looked for one person on the dates you specified. You can get a roundtrip for $810 + taxes. That's a great deal in my opinion. You are going to be trying to fly in a peak season, and the flights to Hawaii will be jammed packed. So I would go ahead and jump on that fare if you can. I work for an airline, and I see fares go way higher than this. Okay, so about the hotel. I just took a few days to get away and went to Hawaii. We stayed at the Outrigger Reef. It's actually in Waikiki and it's right on the beach. I paid about $150 a night (though I used my airline discount), and normal rates are about $200-250. It was a really nice room. Check out other great Outrigger locations throughout the island. If you're like me, and are only at the hotel at night to sleep, then you can find something cheaper that's away from the beach.
