1 :
bout an hour
2 :
like 7-9 hours, i was like 11 last time i went to cali
3 :
in my estimates, it'd be about 4 hours, because it takes 3 to get to Minneapolis, so I'd add an extra hour for an extra time zone. just my personal estimate.
4 :
Around 5-6hours if it is non-stop. Remember there is a 3 hour time change but you will still be traveling arouund 5-6 hours.
5 :
6h 18min to 6h 50min.
6 :
There is a head wind (wind blows form West to Wast) going to San Francisco so the trip will take six hours and thirty minutes. Coming back, there is a tail wind so it will only take five hours and thirty minutes. More fuel is used going West and it is one of the reasons why oneway tickets going west usualy cost a bit more that tickets coming East. Hope that helps.
7 :
An hour, wow.... I went form nyc to oakland (they're right next to each other) It could take 7-8 hours. i recommend a plane with a tv. you'll be on for a LONG time. Jetblue has tv's, but it doesn't go to san fran, it goes to oakland. i recommend you do that.
8 :
It actually depends, but generally, it's about 6 or 7 hours. I take a JetBlue flight all the time from JFK to SJC and I've made it in less than 6 hours because there was little headwind, but it could take as much as 7 if the wind is strong. Also, if you travel during "rush hour", weekday mornings, you'll sit on the runway for a while which won't impact your time in the air but will impact total time.
9 :
I would say the flight from JFK New York to San Francisco is anywhere from 5 to 51/2 Hours. With a 3 hour time change. It is 3 Hours earlier in San Francisco, Calif then New York, NY. Have a great trip! Gerard
10 :
6-7 hours depending on weather conditions which can cause delay, and whether it is a non stop flight. Generally it is a full day of travel. I've made that flight many times.

fly to drive to las vegas? from San Francisco
fly to drive to las vegas? from San Francisco?
ill be flying into san francisco mid-june to go on a trip with my boyfriend. We wanted to go Las Vegas for 4 or 5 days but not sure if we should drive or fly. its a 8 1/2 hour drive and mapquest estimated gas at about $80. we'd loose both a day and a night for driving and sleeping. for flying, its $180 per person for a 4 hour flight. we'd have to pay for a checked bag but we could sleep on the plane. I heard that parking is free at hotels. is this true? The only reason i would want to fly is because we could sleep. but its so much more expensive and my flight to san francisco is already $550. what would you do? or what have you done? we dont really have a plan to look at other places in las vegas... and like the rest of the US, we're trying to save money. i know there are much shorter flights but i dont want to spend $400 on a flight i know there are much shorter flights but i dont want to spend $400 on a flight thutmose (i think that was youre name): good point! i would have never thought about the drive back. i figure we'll be so tired after spending 4 or 5 days there, we'll just want to rest. thank you!

I say drive because you and your boyfriend can spend some nice quality time with just the two of you on the road, it could be fun! I think it would be cheaper than flying, cause pretty much all you'll need is gas money. It shouldn't be that long of a trip so I say just go for the drive! The trip sounds super fun, have a good time!
2 :
You should drive since it costs less than flying. Plus, leave around like 10a.m. in the morning and when you get there 8 1/2 hours later, it will be 6:30p.m. If you do this, you don't have to worry about sleeping. And yes, hotels do have free parking. If you are gonna fly, you have to pay for the plane fare, car rentals, and you have to deal with all that airport hassles. Its gonna burn a hole in your wallet if you do that.
3 :
The flight from San Francisco to Vegas is an hour and half. Do not drive, you will be so tired when you get to Vegas it will ruin your vacation. It's much cheaper to fly. Check sites like Southwest airlines, Allegiant Air or US Airways. Also do a search on kayak engine. It will check all airlines going to Vegas and all major travel sites and return the cheapest fare. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/cheap-flights.php FYI: With Southwest Airlines, bags fly free
4 :
I would fly. The airport is really close to "the strip" so its pretty convenient and most of the stuff is on the strip or a few steps away from it so you could get around without a car too. Plus, my family has done the drive from San Francisco before and its actually a little longer than that (even if we don't really stop) Southwest airlines flies from all 3 bay area airports to Las Vegas airport and they don't charge for bags. You might be able to get a good deal if you book early enough.
5 :
If you drive it will be the BIGGEST mistake for you guys and you're going to start the trip off on a bad note! Distance wise, about 400 miles. Time-wise it takes about 6 hours-without traffic just to reach Los Angeles so imagine another 4-5 hours from there to reach las vegas?? If even if you do make it! Whats going to kill and bug you is after you had you're fun in vegas you're going to say damn, after you realize how much time it took you to get to vegas THE DRIVE BACK!! You should fly and re-think your trip. I mean really after you guys had you're fun, drinking, partying and dancing, do you really want to make that hike back to SF in a car? Thats going to be the last thing on you're mind. It could ruin the trip.

You can't pray in plane. "Praying passenger removed from San Francisco-bound flight"
You can't pray in plane. "Praying passenger removed from San Francisco-bound flight"?
A passenger who left his seat to pray in the back of a plane before it took off, ignoring flight attendants' orders to return, was removed by an airport security guard, a witness and the airline said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080418/ap_on_re_us/praying_passenger By the way guys, don't kick my butt because I don't have any religion and I am not atheist. I just wanted to see a little fight between atheist an religious people but I hope that you read the whole article If you guys read the article, or the headline, you will see that yahoo maybe put it in the context of religion. However as all of you said, this guy violate a rule and it's not about religion. I am glad that all of you agree on that. It's good that you respond with maturity . Thumbs up for all of you.

Not during take off and landing. You have to remain seated and belted. Be sensible.
2 :
They chose to ignore the rules. If the Pope did that on a commercial flight, they'd kick him off too.
3 :
I don't care what religion you are. Pray before the plane takes off. The attendants have regulations they need to follow for the safety of ALL the passengers. Or pray quietly in your darn seat. *He* was standing during a time they needed to be seated.
4 :
That's ridiculous. There is no reason why he couldn't pray silently in his own seat.
5 :
Dont you have to be in your seat and be buckled in before takeoff and landing and during turbulence? Its a rule meant for the safety of the passengers. Couldnt he simply abide by them and wait until the plane was in the air or pray in his seat? This has more to do with violation of the rules than about religion.
6 :
It wasn't because he was praying. It was because the plane was about to take off and he disobeyed the flight attendants' orders.
7 :
You can't ignore the instructions of the flight crew. You cannot be standing when takeoff is imminent. It has nothing to do with WHAT he was doing, only that he wasn't doing what he was supposed to.
8 :
There's a difference in being forbidden to pray and not obeying safety requirements of the plane. No one told him he couldn't do it in his seat. You're not supposed to get up during take off, and it had nothing to do with his praying.
9 :
Because you're supposed to remain seated. It's not a matter of praying.
10 :
He shouldn't have gotten out of his seat and gone to the back of the plane to pray just before taking off. There are reasons for the rules, especially during landing and take off. He could have kept praying as he sat down.
11 :
It was for his safety. He could have prayed in his seat.
12 :
He wasn't removed because he was praying. He was removed because he ignored the flight attendants when they told him he had to return to his seat and buckle up for take off. He would have been removed had he decided to go to the bathroom during takeoff too and refused to return to his seat. All he had to do was wait til the pilot said seatbelts could be removed, THEN go pray if he wanted. Or do so in his seat.
13 :
Why couldn't the dude just pray from his seat? I think that they made the right decision in sending a message to him and the rest of the public to be respectful of the authority of those running the plane. I realize it was only a 2 minute prayer, but who knows what he would've done at 30,000 feet. I think a clear message was sent and I doubt he caused ANY problems on his way back home. REPOST: I nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize! You just got all the theists and athiests to agree on something on R&S. Good job!
14 :
Talk about jumping to conclusions. Everyone has to remain seated when the plane takes off and lands and as instructed by the pilots and flight crew. A praying person does not have the special right to endanger his/her life and the lives of others.
15 :
The issue here was not that the passenger prayed but that they did not follow the instructions of the people in charge of the plane. God can hear prayer from your seat and is not encumbered by the fastened seatbelt.
16 :
and.... your question!?!?! FAA regulations come first on a plane. schedule your flights around your prayer times. why on earth should he have been allowed and hold up the entire airplane AND all subsequent flights?!
17 :
Don't be ridiculous, this isn't about religion. This is about a passenger willfully ignoring rules that are there for a reason. They were right to remove him.
18 :
You also can't pray by screaming, "OH, GOD, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! SAVE US LORD!!!!!".
19 :
So it's really more like "you can't ignore flight attendants' instructions", then.
20 :
Good. No one should be allowed to create a disturbance on a plane. It is to confined a space, and no way to get out, if this person had something else on his mind by creating a distraction over praying.
21 :
A regrettable misunderstanding, but the airline was correct. Why did he wait until just before take-off to start? That wasn't such a good idea. .
22 :
There is no law that says you cannot pray on a plane. But the exercise of your religion does not give you some special right to endanger other passengers. Everybody needs to be in their seat and belted in on take-off, otherwise if the plane gets into an accident, one person bouncing around the fuselage could easily injure other passengers.
23 :
Now, why do I believe there's a bit more about that story than you're leading on?? Be willing to bet the passanger suffered anxiety panic prior to flying, and the Pilot/crew determined it would be in his/her best interest to turn back. Oh, did I mention, I work at an Airport!

If you take her to the airport, tell the agent that checks her in at the ticket counter that she will need assistance in changing planes. A Cathay Pacific agent will meet her in HKG and take her to the next departure gate. Regards, Dan
