Hi I have 11 hours 50 mins between my connection from san francisco to manchester, would this give me enough time to travel to some sights of new york between connections? also will my baggage be transferred to the next flight or will i have to collect that myself and lug it round all day?

Cheers

Your luggage should be transferred automatically, but double check with your carrier. 11 hours should give you plenty of time. Cab it into manhattan or take the air tran to either the A or E subway lines which will take you into manhattan. Good luck.
