Coming home
 

Our flight from San Francisco leaves at 10am on a Monday morning. What time would you advise us to leave our hotel in Sutter Street to get a taxi to the airport.

Hi toledo, some will probably disagree with me but I would take the taxi one hour before you have to check in at the airport. I hate being rushed, and you will be dealing with commute traffic.
So that is what I would do.

The taxi will get you to the airport in less than half an hour. If you can, use curbside check in to avoid the lines inside.

Have a great visit to SF!

that was a good movie... Jane Fonda and Jon Voight...

Thanks for the advice.
Grasshopper, I'm afraid I don't know what curbside check in is, can you explain?

Most of the airlines have stands on the sidewalk, outside the terminal where you can check your bags and get your boarding pass. I know United does for sure..always use curb side when going to Hawaii..a lot of the other airlines have it available also.

Is this a domestic or international flight? If international, check with your carrier, some have a 60-minute cut-off time after which the luggage is not accepted.

Wow. I can't believe you actually got people to read your post and answer your question in light of how non-specific your heading -- coming home -- was. Do you realize that all the posts get dumped into one listing under United States. I guess you're lucky that a few people who are familiar with SF are curious enough to figure out what someone had to say/ask regarding coming home from somewhere to somewhere.

Susan: curious enough? Better say "bored enough" LOL

Hi. I'm sorry about the heading, I'm pretty new to this Forum. My International flight is at 10am. What I really wanted to know was how long it would take for a taxi to get me to the airport. I would have thought that I needed to arrive at 8am. I thought the commuter traffic might be really bad at that time of day.
