United Airlines Flight 93 was headed to San Francisco International Airport in California, on a scheduled route from Newark International Airport in New Jersey.

Quick context

  • It was a regular morning transcontinental flight from the East Coast to the West Coast.
  • The scheduled arrival was late morning in San Francisco (around 11:14 a.m. Pacific Time).
  • The hijacking on September 11, 2001 prevented the plane from reaching San Francisco; it crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

In many historical and forum discussions, you’ll also see debate about the intended target of the hijackers (commonly believed to be a high‑profile site in Washington, D.C., such as the Capitol or the White House), but the official, ticketed destination of Flight 93 itself was San Francisco.

TL;DR: Flight 93’s scheduled destination was San Francisco International Airport.
