Cheap flights to San Francisco
Cheap flights to San Francisco land you in a city of hills, bay views and neighbourhoods that each feel like their own small town. People fly in for work in tech and finance, to see family, and for the food, the bridges and the Pacific coast just beyond the city. Late spring through early autumn is the busiest stretch, when transatlantic arrivals from Europe fill up first.

Airports — San Francisco
San Francisco International is the airport that serves the city, sitting south of downtown on the bay side of the peninsula, and it takes the long-haul arrivals from Europe. From the terminals you can get into the centre by rail, by shared shuttle or by taxi and rideshare. Traffic on the peninsula slows through the afternoon, so build in some slack if you land late in the day.
When to go
Spring and autumn tend to be quieter and clearer, with mild days and fog less likely to settle over the city. Summer is the busiest season for arrivals, and fog rolls in along the coast, so bring a layer even in the warm months. Winter means rain and the holiday rush, when seats on the long-haul services from Spain, France, Germany and the UK fill first. British Airways, Lufthansa, Iberia, Aer Lingus and French Bee all appear on this route.
