Cheap flights from Rzeszow to San Francisco

April is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar above shows fares for September, October, November, December, February and April. Spring and late autumn usually undercut the summer rush and the Christmas and New Year weeks, when Polish families fly out and transatlantic fares climb. Midweek departures from Jasionka tend to be quieter and cheaper than Friday and Sunday flights. For summer and December travel, book a few months ahead; for April you can often leave it later and still find a reasonable fare.

LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa are the carriers you will see most often here, and both are full-service network airlines rather than low-cost carriers. Neither flies Rzeszow to San Francisco non-stop: a LOT itinerary usually begins with a short hop from Jasionka to its Warsaw hub, while Lufthansa routes you through a German hub before the long flight west. Because both are full-service, a checked bag and meals on the transatlantic leg are normally part of the ticket, but the light fare families sold on some dates strip that back. Compare the total cost of the trip, not just the headline fare.

You land at San Francisco International, the airport that serves this route, sitting south of downtown on the bay side of the peninsula. The run into the centre is short by American standards, and the usual options are the regional rail line from the terminals, a taxi, or a ride-share pick-up. If you arrive on a late connection from Europe, check the last train time before you fly, because the airport sits away from the main hotel districts and the rail link does not run around the clock. Baggage claim and immigration at San Francisco can take a while on the big morning arrivals, so leave room in your plans for the first hour on the ground.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Rzeszow has one airport, Jasionka, so check your ticket leaves from there rather than from a Warsaw or Krakow departure you would have to reach by road.
• Keep both legs on one booking, or a delay in Europe can leave you paying for the transatlantic flight twice.
• Check what the fare includes on LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa, since light fares may charge for a checked bag on each leg.
• Carry a valid passport and sort out your US entry authorisation well before departure.
• Compare April against the other months in the price calendar before you fix your dates.
• Leave a comfortable buffer at the connecting airport, because a tight transfer with a bag is how people miss the long-haul leg.
