Boeing 314? On a Boeing 314, a trip from San Francisco to Hawaii would take forever.
2 :
It took some 14 hours to fly SFO to HNL in a Boeing 314 - That would have been the 1939-1945 era with PanAm - By the way, the distance is 2,300 nautical miles - Their cruise speed was 160 knots -

The airline will usually try to make accommodations to get you on another flight or even in rare cases, the connecting flight could be held when they know there are a large number of passengers coming in yet.
2 :
Not a problem if you have all of your flights booked at the same time with the same airline. They know if their own flights are delayed and will arrange accordingly. If it you are connecting with another airline you will have to contact them and they will work to get you another flight. But it will take time. *
3 :
its your negligence for only having a 47 minute connection!! if your first flight is a domestic flight (departs and lands in the USA), you will miss your second plane by over an hour, regardless of weather!

Flight from New York to San Francisco (round trip)

Flight from New York to San Francisco (round trip)?
Hello everybody, I live in Italy. On Saturday I will take a flight from Rome to New York. Then I will need to arrive in San Francisco but I have not yet bought the flight's tycket. I do not know which alternative is the most affordable: 1) to buy now online the tycket; 2) to buy the tycket on Saturday, when I will be in New York, at the airport or in a travel agency. Which alternative is the best? If you suggest to buy online the tyckets, can you indicate some sites or air companies? Thanks

Neither is the "best" alternative. It wold almost certainly have been cheaper to buy the whole trip together. Failing that it would have been cheaper to have booked the onward portion in advance. At this point, it may or may not be cheaper to book now, but if you don't book now you may find that the flight you want is full.

I agree with Neil that it is better if you booked everything together. Buying tickets separately is generally more expensive. You can see how much it costs to fly on JetBlue or Virgin America. Those are the best airlines to fly across the United States.
3 :
You will need to book the ticket as soon as possible. Use your usual travel agent or on-line site, for example http://www.expedia.com. As this is very close to your needed departure in NYC you will have limited cheap options. Jetblue has just now roundtrip tickets for 400-500 USD from JFK-LAX. Do take care that NYC has several airports and it will take time to transfer between them.

i suggest you buy the ticket now, because. New york to San Francisco is a hot route, you cant possibly get a good deal if you buy it at the airport or in a travel agency. they will take advantage of you, since you are there at last minute, and you'll have to pay too much. and if you catch a flight on Sunday to San Fran. $683 roundtrip on www.cheapoair.com return on 8/12 if you modify, you might recieve a cheaper price.
5 :
there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
