Were there flights from San Francisco into the New York area on 9/13/2001 after WTC attacks
Were there flights from San Francisco into the New York area on 9/13/2001 after WTC attacks?
Which flights operated between SFO and the New York area airports (Newark, JFK, LaGuardia, Philadelphia) on 9/13/2001? Was there a flight priority list for families of WTC victims trying to fly into New York?

No commercial flights were operating at that time. The only flighta flown by commercial airliners at hat time were "care team" flights. These flights departed from United's and American's main hub (Chicago and Dallas). Onboard these flights, were specially trained counselors, union representatives and other airline officials. Family members were not transported by air att hat time. They may have found other means to get to the crash sites.

Nope as long as you're a green card holder. But to make sure of it call the airline first because they have some changes sometimes. I used to work with the airlines before and it's not required. Call the airline office to make sure
2 :
what country are you from? Check with Canadian Immigration. Here's a website that might help you. http://www.canadaimmigrationvisa.com/visatype.html
3 :
No, you do not need a visa to go anywhere in Canada because you are a permanent resident of the USA and you possess a green card which I assume is not expired.
4 :
if you have a valid green card you do NOT need a Canadian visa to visit Canada. (This is so UNFAIR because Canadian PRs DO need visas to visit USA - unequal rules from the BULLY USA). You only need your original passport and your valid green card to visit Canada

Flights from San francisco airport to Chicago then to Uk. What happens to luggage
Flights from San francisco airport to Chicago then to Uk. What happens to luggage?
Hi been reading answers to questions about flying into Chicago from uk and about connections and luggage and these were really helpful. I am flying back from San Francisco into Chicago with United then onto UK with BMI. How does the luggage thing work then?Will I have to collect at Chicago or will it be booked through? Also do I have to go through customs again at Chicago or will this be done at San Fran right through to UK? Thanks

if you are flying United all the way your luggage should be transferred automatically to the other carrier since both airlines are in the same airline Alliance so you wont have to worry about your luggage till you arrive in the UK and have to clear their customs if you are flying from San Francisco to Chicago and onto the UK this is consider a domestic flight so there is no customs involved here hope this helps
2 :
You should be able to receive both boarding passes at SFO and have your luggage forwarded all the way through to the UK since United and BMI are both Star Alliance members. Also, unlike many other countries you will not have to clear customs or immigration when departing the US for an international destination, you will most likely have to clear security for a second time in Chicago when transferring to your international flight. Have fun.

Mountains on Flight Route From San Diego to Seattle
Mountains on Flight Route From San Diego to Seattle?
Hi, A while ago I took a flight into San Francisco and we had to go over Mt. Shasta, and I really got uncomfortable. I'm looking to fly from San Diego to Seattle at some point in the future- does that include flying over any big mountains? Thanks!

Yes. You can use a thing called a map to see exactly which ones.
2 :
there are a lot of mountains and mountain ranges between that area. No big deal. The pilot will do everything possible to avoid hitting a mountain......that I can guarantee. It is done everyday all over the world. No need to worry.
3 :
The tallest mountain in the lower 48 states is Mt. Whitney, at about 14,500 feet, near the CA, NV border. Airplanes routinely cruise between 25,000 and 35,000 feet high. That puts a minimum of almost 2 miles between you and the top of the tallest mountain. Airplanes fly over mountain ranges thousands of times every day. Think about all of the flights from the west coast to anywhere from Denver on east. They all have to go over the Rocky Mountains. Happens all the time and nothing bad occurs. Personally, I think it is very interesting to fly over mountains. The perspective is unique and the features that you see are totally different than a map.
4 :
The most common route from San Diego flies over the water to Santa Catalina, then turns towards Los Angeles and continues north over low hills and mountains in SoCal. From there, it flies mostly over flat land until it gets about as far north as Lake Tahoe, where it flies over some low mountains again (9000 feet or so). It continues over that kind of terrain up past Crater Lake and stays over medium-sized mountains until it enters the Seattle area. All of these mountains are medium-sized, the highest along the route being around 9000 feet, which isn't very big. Since the airplane is typically flying at 34,000-38,000 feet on this route (a mile higher than Mount Everest), the mountains are far below. The route takes the airplane about 15 miles east of Mount Shasta, but it doesn't fly over the mountain (Mount Shasta is 14,000 feet high, so it's a big mountain, although still miles below the airplane). So you'd get a good view of Mount Shasta from a distance, but you wouldn't actually be flying close to it.

People who have been to San Francisco International Airport before, can you please give me some advice
People who have been to San Francisco International Airport before, can you please give me some advice?
I will be in the San Francisco area later this month and I need some help in figuring out exactly when I need to leave the Oakland area where I will be staying so that I can make it to the airport in time to head out for the airport on the day that I will fly out to come back to Central Florida (the day I leave will be a Monday). So here goes... My flight leaves San Francisco International Airport at 11:35 AM and I need to get to the airport in time to be able to return my rental car to the Hertz counter, get from the Hertz counter to the main terminal, make it through security, and get to the boarding gate. Also, I already have my flight tickets and I will only have a carry-on bag, so I do not need extra time to go to the check-in counter and luggage counter. So with all of that in mind, what time do you think I should leave the Oakland area? I was thinking around 9:30 AM, but I don't want to leave way too early...

You don't say what airline - or whether it's international or domestic travel...so I will assume domestic. Almost all domestic airlines require at least a 60 minute checkin. Most suggest at least 90 minutes due to LONG LINES. You may have your tickets and no checked luggage - but you still have to get a boarding pass. Unless you are flying a carrier that has kiosks, you will need to stand in line with everyone else to get that boarding pass. Then, you must pass through security. Again, depending upon the carrier and the terminal you are flying from, the lines can be very, very long and it can take a long time to get through everything. Once you arrive, by car, at the San Francisco airport, you should allow 1 hour to get to the rental car agency, return the car and take the tram to the terminal-that's if you just drop the car and take the receipt. If you have to go to the counter to turn in keys or take a rental car van to the tram, you will need to add more time for that - at least another 30 minutes. Then, there is the traffic between Oakland and SFO. I-80 is a mess most of the time with long lines for bridge tolls. Highway 101, the road that passes the airport presents it's own problem once you are on the San Fran side of the bridge. Traffic backs up as everyone is jostling to be in the correct lane for where they are going. Then, once you are on 101, the traffic again can be murderous. If I had an 11:30AM flight, domestic, I would be AT THE CAR RENTAL AGENCY no later than 8:00AM.
2 :
9:30 sounds about right, it'll take close to 30 minutes from OAK to SFO under ideal traffic conditions. Shouldn't be any rush hour traffic by then either, so I'd go for 9:30AM or slightly earlier, just in case.
