what is the shortest actual in-flight time you've experienced on UA SFO-LAX or LAX-SFO? (from the moment the wheels are off the runway until they touchdown again)

I've never heard an instance where the pilot didn't say over the intercom that flight time would be 57 minutes. But I've never used the stopwatch to determine their veracity, either.

I wonder if they were able to do a water service on the 744 flight.

Shortest flight I've experienced personally. This was back when they still asked you to turn off all electronics during take off and landing. I think I barely got through an entire song on my OG iPod before the announcement that all electronics must be turned off came on.
