I would be there at 9:15. You should always be 3 hours early for an international flight. Have a good trip, Keagan
2 :
you should always be there 2-3 hours before the flight takes off... being that if anything goes wrong you are able to take of it.. have a nice trip!
3 :
At least 2-3 hours befero the flight takes off. Give your self planty of time.
4 :
you should always arrive to an airport about an hour to two hours before a domestic flight and about two hours to three hours before an international flight. since you are flying international, i would get to the airport at 9:15. if you want to get something to eat at the airport or to go shopping or something, i would get to the airport at 8:00.
5 :
The time your airline tells you to arrive at that airport. Check the airline website for "Check-in Requirements", then "When to Arrive at the Airport". They will publish a standard time, then note exceptions for certain airports. See sample #1 for an example from Delta. Please note: the check-in time is the time when you are actually talking to a ticket agent, checking your baggage, and receiving your boarding pass; NOT when you pull into the airport parking lot. Take into consideration the time required to drive through rush hour from your home to SFO, then park in that airport, then get to the check-in area, then stand in line. Also note that some airlines specify how long before departure you must be at the gate.
6 :
I usually arrive three hour before departure just to be safe.
7 :
The best thing to do for international flights is to arrive 3 hours early, so in your case be at the airport by 9:15.
8 :
I'd get there around 8:45.
9 :
You want to be there 45 minutes before boarding. Allow yourself plenty of time at the airport. If you want to be at the gate 45 minutes before boarding, which will be around 11:50, you'll obviously want to get there a little after 11:00. San Francisco is a pretty busy airport, so I would arrive at the airport around 9:30, no later.
10 :
The last two times I've flown out of SFO, it was a disaster, get there as early as possible, within reason. I'd say like 9:00 am. My last flight in June, to get through security took over an hour (my flight was at 10, I got there at 7:30, and got through security around 8:50 pm.) The time before that I got there early and there was a situation with security (someone had a fake ID and I heard drugs but idk). I love traveling out of SFO (I'm equidistant from SFO and SMF). Be sure that you have no liquids, and if you have any toothpaste, deodorant, etc that you are carrying in a carry on you have in a clear plastic bag! Good luck, and enjoy!

Well, you will most likely not have a direct flight - I just flew in from Winnipeg, Canada to Calgary, Alberta and on to San Francisco last night- had to take 2 planes and that adds to the time - there will be no less than a 2 hour layover plus with Canadian weather there will also probably be some delay - both my planes had to be de-iced before take-off which added another 40 mins. to each flight. You also have to factor in the arrival time at the airport - you need to be there no less than 2 hrs and you will have to go thru immigration when you get to the first plane's destination - which means you have to deplane, pick up your check in luggage, go thru immigration (lines can be very long) then re-check in you luggage and go thru security once again before your next flight. So, all in all it took me 10 hours to get to SFO. But the trip was worth the hassle - have a good time. :)
5 :
LA to NYC direct is 5-6 hours depending on the direction (San Fran and MTL are about equal distance north). If you have a layover give it an extra 2 hours, plus 20-30 minutes for customs.

How long is a direct flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong
How long is a direct flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong?

14 - 16 hours
2 :
15 hrs
3 :
SFO-HKG: 14hours, 5 minutes to 14 hours, 36 minutes -- depending which flight you choose. Just to clarify, "direct" and "nonstop" are not the same thing. If you meant nonstop, then Cathay Pacific's flight is scheduled for 14 hours, 5 minutes; United has two on SFO-HKG, 1 is scheduled for 14h, 21m and the other at 14h, 36m. ("Direct" means it stops enroute to pick up/drop off passengers, but keeps the same flight number). HKG-SIN: 3 hours 35 minutes - 3 hours 45 minutes -- depending which flight you choose. (By the way, JetStar Asia is coming up VERY cheap vs. Cathay and Singapore Air on this route).
4 :
Direct flights from San Francisco to Hong Kong are operated by Cathay Pacific Airways, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines. They take about 14 hours and 5 minutes. All flights are non-stop operated by Boeing 747-400 aircraft. Flights from Hong Kong to Singapore are operated by Cathay Pacific Airways, Jetstar Asia, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines. They take 3:30-3:40 hours. Flights are operated by Airbus A320, Airbus A330, Airbus A340-300, Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 777 aircraft.

what entertainment is available onboard a philippines airline flight from San Francisco to Manila
what entertainment is available onboard a philippines airline flight from San Francisco to Manila?
I am flying today....just wondering what I will need to take for entertainment

Well it depends on the flight you're taking, but i believe in all airlines they provide scheduled movies and they have music stations. But I suggest you bring your own source of entertainment such as: a laptop, psp, ipod, A LOT of magazines (these helped a lot during my flight), or crossword books, etc. because I had a relative who came here from the states too and she told me that something was wrong with the movie screens so they didn't show any movies.
2 :
Omigod! That's like 12hours. The flight feels like forever. But the planes should have those monitor thingies where that lets you watch movies and there are some inflight music too.
3 :
If you are in the first class cabin you can access any latest entertainment available on board. If you are in economy........whatever they gave!
4 :
intertaiment! lol your surely joking, my advise is to stay up really late the night before and take a strong sleeping pill just before the flight .viva the midnight express!
5 :
You have movies during the long flights, all of the airlines have movies and short subjects.. If you are in first class or business you have individual movie screens. On old 747's most of the movies are on a big screen in the cheap seats. On newer Airbus airplanes you might even have TV screens on the seat backs over the trays. Sometimes you have live entertainment with babies crying, drunks cursing and noisy talkers. Ear plugs and a blindfold don't take up a lot of room. A blow up neck pillow also won't take up a lot of room. Bring a book to read. Remember to get up often during the flight to stretch a bit and prevent blood clots. I fly a lot and read until I can't hold my eyes open then doze off - repeat as necessary. The more electronic junk you bring with you the more you have to worry about! God luck.

I think in the cheapest you can find is $250.
2 :
check out the bombastic deals section of http://www.bombasticlife.com if you don't find a great deal there, click on the kayak ad and search there. it will search over 200 sites and you should be able to find the best deal there.
3 :
that depends on when you want to fly, how long you will stay, how far out you book, etcetcetc..... Generally Southwest has a good deal, but the answer to your question is "it depends"
4 :
$39 one-way on United (when they're on sale), which means a bit over $100 return when taxes and fees are added.
5 :
At least you said please when you decided not to do your own work. I've paid as low as $40 round trip. Have fun looking for that price.
