Why now
$339 per person round trip, or $678 for two, all-in with taxes and fees when we checked on Oct 13. That's $64 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 16% gap across the 12 offers we looked at. Frontier leaves Boston at 11:27 AM on Saturday, Nov 14 and lands at SFO at 8:50 PM local time, with one stop and 12h 23m of travel. Mid-November comes after the warm, clear stretch of September and October, so plan on typical highs of 58–62°F, lows near 50°F and a few drizzly or rainy days. That's still good weather for walking the hills, long lunches and a day out in the redwoods. Our full estimate for two, covering flights, hotel and spending, comes to $5,265 for the week. Prices change, so take these as what we found, not a promise.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city week built around food and culture, with a little nature at the edges. It works best for a couple looking for a romantic trip, and it's just as good for two friends who like to walk. The pace is easy: one big thing a day, like Alcatraz or Muir Woods, then dinner in a different neighborhood. Pack layers and a rain jacket, not swimwear.
