How long does it take to fly from san francisco to washington dc? |
Travel Info Please help me with this. Thanks! Travel Tips The flight itself (time in the sky) is about 4 and a half hours from SFO or Oakland to Baltimore or Washington Dulles. There are many choices for non-stop flights. But it's not that easy. If you are in downtown SF, allow 30 minutes to get to the airport, and make sure to arrive an hour before the flight so that you can get through "security". The airlines schedule the flight at just over 5 hours. So we are now at 6 and a half hours and counting. If you check a bag, it takes 30 minutes to get it back, and then about an hour to get into Washington, DC, itself, depending on your preferred means of transport. So I would say that it takes slightly more than 8 hours total to actually get from downtown San Francisco to the Mall in Washington. Others id say about 4 hours...but its only estimated^^ You'll have to transfer plane in Philadelphia. It you leave San Francisco around 10:00 PM, you'll arrive in Washington, D.C. around 8:30 AM, the next day (5:30 AM SFO time). It's approximately 7.5 hours if you change planes in Philadelphia. There are other ways but they all more or less take the same amount of time. a couple of hours; it generally takes less than flying the other way due to jet stream however, remember, the time difference; i generally like flying the other way, since by the time you leave, it's close to the same time when you arrive 5 hours direct. I've been lucky with a 4 1/2 hour flight when we had a tailwind. |
