Alcatraz is accessed from the pier in San Francisco so you would be able to go there no matter how you intend on getting to LA. Between SF and LA, there are loads of scenic places along Highway 1. There is Santa Cruz, Monterey/ Pacific Grove/ Carmel/ Pebble Beach, San Simeon and Hearst Castle, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, and more. 1 is quite possibly the most scenic drive in California. You can make a day of it and just drive past everything, or you can take a few days and do some exploring. Other than that, I suppose you could take 101, which will still hit San Simeon and Santa Barbara, and pass by some more low key attractions like garlic in Gilroy and the Steinbeck Library in Salinas. The fastest route is going to be 5, but there is pretty much nothing to see other than Casa de Fruta, a glorified fruit market near Hollister.

Highway 1...This route offers so many sights and attractions. It passes through several small California beach towns, and some beach cities. These include Malibu, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Lompoc, Santa Maria, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, Cambria, then for a few hours it is just the ocean to your left and the rolling hills and cliffs to your right, then Carmel, Monterey, Seaside, and Santa Cruz. This will be the most scenic and exciting, yet slowest, route. Highway 101...This route passes through all the valleys parrallel from the ocean. On this route you will drive along the busiest freeway in Los Angeles, maybe even CA, I-405. This way you will pass through Bel-Air, San Fernando Valley, Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Solvang - a very popular tourist attraction- , San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, a very long stretch of agriculture, Salinas, San Juan Batista, Gilroy. This will be a fairly quick route but with few tourist attractions other than Solvang, PismoBeach, Salinas, and Gilroy. Interstate 5...definitely the fastest way. It passes through downtown Los Angeles, and then about an hour of mountains, and 6 hours of pure agriculture (orchards, fields, etc.). Casa De Fruta is actually about a 30 minute drive off of I-5 on highway 152. Then after the Valley's Agriculture you go through Altamont Pass, which is usually swamped with extremely heavy traffic from about 4-9am and 3-7pm. This route has almost no tourist attractions except for a few "vista points" that offer great views of the Valley.

Yes Alcatraz is cool! You could also stop in San Jose at the Winchester Mystery House....then theres the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. Thats a landmark hotel.... :)

The only things to see would be like, Half Moon Bay and Maverick's beach where the world championship surfing tournament is held, and Santa Cruse with it's spectacular surfing spots plus it fun beach boardwalk and municipal pier and restaurants, Monterey and IT'S fisherman's wharf, Cannery Row and world class aquarium, Pacific Grove, 17 Mile Drive, Big Sur, Hearst's Castle, Santa Barbara and the rest of the California Coast with whale watching opportunities along the way. No, not much to do or see. Interestingly, while San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with this, and everything mentioned, in my opinion, the Alcatraz tour is one of the most boring things to do. That is, unless for some reason, you LIKE old abandoned prisons.

About 45 minutes. Basically, you get up to altitude, cross the river, and descend back down. If LA's traffic wasn't so god-awful, I might actually tell you just to drive.
2 :
It took me like 5 hours to drive from phoenix to LA. Seriously, it's a waste of money to pay a ticket from Phoenix to LA, i prefer to drive.
3 :
About 40 minutes. Once you reach cruising altitude, you begin your descent.

An hour max.

About 4 - 5 hours maybe?
2 :
what size jet? in this instance, size matters. A smaller jet would go slower than a larger one. Somewhere around 8 hours would be average.
3 :
Commercial non-stop flights from LAX to LHR take a scheduled time of 10 to 10 1/2 hours outbound and 11 1/4 return, give or take a little bit. A private jet could probably make it in less elapsed time because the quoted airline time always has some slack in it for delays, and still allows the airline to say it was on time. A flight with one stop, commercially, boosts the elapsed time to the vicinity of 12 hours or more, of course, depending on the connection. It is a 5500 mile trip. To do that non-stop, you need a large business jet, probably 15-25 seats, and costing many thousands of dollars per HOUR to charter. A large business jet will probably have a cruising speed similar to a commercial airliner. Maybe a bit slower. To do it with one stop, you could get a smaller plane, stop on the east coast (e.g. JFK, Boston), or in eastern Canada and the hourly cost would probably be lower. Flight times might be a bit longer.
4 :
Given that a private jet maybe slightly faster, but have a shorter range of around 3,000 miles, I would estimate the trip time to be around the same as a passenger jet such as a B747, that can fly there non-stop roughly 5,440 miles. so around 10.5 to 11.5 hours
5 :
It would depend on the model / class of jet since there are a variety of types with different speeds and capabilities. This would definitely be best suited by a Heavy or Long-Range jet model given the duration of the trip. This is the most expensive class of jet to charter so hopefully you have deep pockets! The distance of the trip is about 5,500 miles, so a Long-Range jet should be able to do it non-stop, With a max. cruising speed of 550 mph, the trip would take around 10 hours. If you chose a Heavy model, the jet would need to stop somewhere to refuel during the trip. The crusiing speeds would be similar, but the fuel stop can add 40 minutes to an hour, so around 11 hours. These times can vary depending on number of people and amount of luggage - the more 'full' or weighted the jet, the more likely you would need an additional stop for fuel in either case. A great jet for this trip would be a Gulfstream V or Global Express .... to see approximate hourly rates and other details this site is helpful: http://www.privatejets.com/global-express.html http://www.privatejets.com/gulfstream-v.html
