Continental airways will be the first airline to take off at exactly 5.00 pm, this freight will make a stop at Houston (IAH) and proceed to san Francisco however this freight is relatively expensive given per freight hour cost is $64.2, connecting from Houston (IAH) to san Francisco via US airways will be relatively cheaper given that the cost will be $40.625 per travel hour. The most expensive freight is Alaska airlines which take les than two hours but the cost per hour is $241.09.

I will be taking the freight from Dallas (DFW) to Houston at 5.00pm, then reconnecting with US airline to San Francisco which arrives at 11.54 pm, the price per travel hour is $40.65 and given that this cost is lower than $50 I kindly request you to finance my freight home,
