Cheap flights from Wroclaw to San Francisco

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the quiet weeks around it often hold the lowest fares of the year. The price calendar covers September through July, so you can weigh autumn, the Christmas run, spring and the summer peak against each other. Midweek departures and weekend-to-midweek stays usually cost less than flying out on a Friday or heading home on a Sunday, and school holidays at either end push fares up. If your dates are loose, aim for late winter — but book the connecting legs early, because seats on the short feeder flights into the hub go before the long-haul cabin fills.

There is no low-cost carrier on this route; every ticket is sold by a full-service airline or its regional partner. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cityline, Scandinavian Airlines, Delta Air Lines, LOT Polish Airlines, Helvetic Airways, Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation all appear in the results, and most cover only a single leg of the trip. What is included depends on the fare family, not the name on the plane: lighter tickets tend to drop checked baggage and seat choice, flexible ones keep them. Judge the whole itinerary, because a cheap first leg paired with an expensive second one is not a cheap ticket.

You land at San Francisco International, the airport that serves this route. It sits south of downtown, a short run up the peninsula by rail or road, and the airport train, shared shuttles and taxis all cover the trip into the centre. If you connect through another American city, you clear immigration there and collect and recheck your bags before the final leg, so leave room in that layover. Fog and low cloud can slow arrivals on summer afternoons, and check-in at a large international terminal on the way home takes longer than you expect.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Wroclaw flies from Strachowice, so confirm the terminal and build in time for the transfer from the city.
• Every itinerary here connects, so check the layover length and whether the change sits on one ticket or two.
• On separate tickets you move your own bags between flights and nobody protects you if the first leg runs late.
• Compare what each fare family includes, because light tickets often leave out checked baggage and seat choice.
• Sort your passport and any US entry authorisation well ahead, since the airline asks at check-in.
• February is the cheapest month, but winter weather can reroute you, so keep slack at either end of the trip.
