Here are that person's questions:
1. How much of a pain would it be to get from the Oakland airport into SF on a Friday afternoon (either just before rush hour or, god forbid, during rush hour)? It seems that Oakland is the only place Southwest flies in the area - is this correct? If so, do people still fly Southwest or do they pay the extra $100 for American or United? How convenient is the SF airport for downtown SF?
2. Where close to the business district of SF should a person stay? Any good Starwood joints? W? Westin? Or any boutiques the person should try instead? Assume the person lacks the budget for the Mandarin Oriental. Assume also that the person's business will be paying for one night and the person and his or her companion might just stay for a second night and foot the bill (or use Starwood points!) themselves.
3. How bad is the SF weather in late February? Need for an umbrella? Coat?
Discuss.

1. W looks good.
2. SW to Oakland about $160? American to SFO for $190.
3. Weather is cloudy.
