Newark Liberty International to San Francisco International EWR → SFO

2,224 nautical miles (2,559 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 281°, about 294° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13W). At 120 knots that is 19 h 10 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 4-knot headwind), arriving about 2:04 pm PDT (21:04 UTC). Right now EWR is IFR, wind from the north-northeast (030°) at 16 knots, gusting to 22; SFO is VFR, wind from the west-southwest (240°) at 13 knots. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 8,567 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
