Airline & Hotel Information
What day will I fly to San Francisco?
The program in Seattle concludes the afternoon of Wednesday 8/20, and starts again in San Francisco on the morning of Thursday 8/21. From Seattle you will need to fly to San Francisco (SFO) during the afternoon of Wednesday 8/20 for hotel check-in by that evening. The flight from SEA to SFO is NOT covered in the tuition.
