Tips for flying to SF? Fly Virgin!
I visited SF last year and decided to spend one day in Napa. Rented a car and drove there (about an hour drive), visited a few vineyards and had a great time. If you have time, check it out... worth it.

I got issues with flying...nothing major but I get uncomfortable so this is what i do.
1. Always ask for an upgrade and if you can afford it do it! Even on trains I always sit in business class and I ask to upgrade my ticket, they hardly take the money
2. Go to you dr and get lorazepam. It's a mild anti anxiety drug. It just takes any anxiety away. It's pretty awesome and it makes you tired so you can have a nice nap.
3. Buy lounge wear. I bought some really nice lounge wear and slippers I wear on the plane.
4. Luggage
If you travel a lot a good set of luggage is awesome.Have fun!

Yeah I saw that on the travel channel. Watched those today. We don't have any unique places to shop here so I didn't know if they had some great places out there.

Tons. Search qbn + San Francisco in google.
from a previous post of mine:
food (all in the mission-this where i usually go):
tacos at papalote
vegan mexican at gracias madre
pizza at paxtis
anything at the corner restaurant at 18th and mission (switches daily-chefs bring in all their own food)
for an amazing dinner or brunch at bar tartine
great food and a movie at foreign cinema
things to do:
walk down valencia in the mission. tons of great shops-clothing furniture/books/design wares etc.
walk down chestnut and union streets in pacific heights-shops, tons of places to eat, douchebags galore :)
walk through golden gate park
hike up to the top of bernal heights for expansive city views
hike up to the top of twin peaks for expansive city views
hayes valley corridor with a bunch of shops-design related/furniture/clothing
haight ashbury for other stores. some good, but also tons of crap
hard knocks cafe for some good soul food in dogpatch
farmer browns for some good soul food in the tenderloin
saturday market at the ferry building- Listen to this gent, he knows his city and helped me out a lot :)OSFA

In case of auto-pilot deflation, manually blow into tube on belt line.

and what sublocked said.

Also...avoid Pier 39 at all costs. It's lame.

Stinking Rose if you like garlic.

If you're feeling adventurous, hang out on 6th and Mission street with a bottle of booze. Share with the homeless. Make friends.

Had the scariest landing experience of my life coming into San Francisco. Plane bloody wobbled all over the place and it seriously felt like we were going to crash. Wings almost smashed into the tarmac when we landed.
Apart from that...no dramas!

Don't call it "Frisco." If your ride a cable car, don't hang off like a monkey. Other than that, welcome. Hit up Napa, Ocean Beach, Alcatraz, Ferry Building farmers market. Find a good place to sip a whiskey (if you like speakeasy style, try Bourbon and Branch). If you want views (and alcohol) hit up Top of the Mark. Cheers.
