As others have mentioned (I think), what airline you can choose from depends on where you are traveling from. I have never had a problem with Southwest and United has been ok. Here's a place to look up whatever airline you're thinking of using. http://www.airlinequality.com/
You might be able to get a cheaper flight by booking directly on the airlines own website, but you can also look here:
www.kayak.com
www.sidestep.com
www.expedia.com
www.tripadvisor.com (which also has info on San Francisco in the forums section)
Good luck with getting accepted into the Art Institute!!!!

If money is no object, I'd recommend United Airlines or Continental. They are a little more expensive, but you get better food and amenities than some other airlines. Sorry to say I don't know much about the on-line travel agents. The only ones I have experienced are the 2 you mentioned plus Expedia.com.
Best of luck to you on applying to the Art Institute. I have a friend who is in his last semester there. Great school!

As some others have said, I'd avoid Delta. One reason for this is because you will probably have to change planes in Atlanta, which should be avoided at all costs. If you fly American, DFW is a more likely change-over, and since the new train is up and running. DFW is a breeze to navigate. I'd be wary of Continental for 2 reasons: IAH (Houston Int.) and Regional Jets. Changing planes at the Continental terminal in IAH is awful, and regional jets are OK for short hops, but I was on one for 3 hours from IAH to Boise. And Continental seems to use them a lot.
As for travel sites, I always recommend Mobissimo.com. I think it is a far more comprehensive site than some others.
Good luck in art college!

I travelled several times with American Airlines and I was always satisfied. Although I did not go to California, I went to Chicago with them and used Delta Airlines many times, but I don't know if they fly to California.
I certainly wish you a lot of luck at the art institute. You will do just fine using your positive thinking and the right motivation. Focus on what you wish to accomplish and chances are you will get to where you are hoping to get.
You seem to be a person who plans ahead of time and are probably precise in what you are doing. You seem to evaluate both sides of a situation and are getting the wisdom necessary to take the right decision.
With focus, wisdom, and positiveness, you can't miss your goal!

The Art Institute is a really good school, I see alot of their buses going around in the city. By the way, I live in San Francisco.
What airline... Depends where you are coming from, doesn't it...
If you want to know some stuff about San Francisco, email me. I can definetely tell you about it.

I've traveled many times to SE Asia and have almost always for the best prices at China Airlines. EVA is not too bad either. Schedule directly online at China Airlines website for the best deals. Don't use an agency.

NEVER NEVER AND NEVER go to Delta Airlanes they suck. This August I was going to Mexico with my family and when they was weighing the bag it was supposly over there limit and they charge us 25 dollars, I think we lost like 75 dollars. SO UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO DON'T GO TO DELTA AIRLANES THEY SUCK!!!! I will try Continental airlanes if I was you because the first time I went there it was comfy the service was great, the people working the airplane was nice. It just overall a great airlane. Oh and btw Goodluck with your air insitiude. And can you post some details on your question, saying that you read my comment because you need to know that Delta Suck lol.

i enjoy traveling Jet Blue. cheap prices, GREAT service, more or less a comfy ride with your own personal little screen to watch TV or whatever... not a huge selection of drinks as far as alcoholic beverages go... but i would highly recommend this airline. i use it to fly from l.a. to new york from time to time, and I've never had a complaint.

i've got in no way flown Spirit yet hear stable issues approximately them. I definitely have many, many common flier miles with Delta and love them - yet every physique has their very own reviews. Have a secure and superb trip.

You are better off going to local travel agencies. Sometimes they offer better prices than the internet companies... no hidden fees.
