Why now
At $344 per person, this fare is $51 below the typical fare on this route. That's 13% under the $395 median of our earlier checks, and $688 for two. We saw 12 offers ranging from $344 to $518. The next two options were Southwest at $442 and United at $461, so Breeze is clearly the low fare for these dates. Mid-November in San Francisco is cool and changeable, with typical highs of 58–62°F, lows near 50°F and a mix of clear, overcast and drizzly days. That's walking weather, good for hills, bridges and long lunches, not beach days. A full week leaves room for Alcatraz, Muir Woods and a day in Sausalito without rushing. The Comfort Inn By the Bay keeps the hotel cost to $2,182 for the stay, with breakfast included. Prices include taxes and fees as found and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food week with some nature mixed in: cable cars, dim sum, taquerias, redwoods and a bridge you can walk across. It suits couples most, since the city leans romantic, but friends who like to eat and walk will be just as happy. The pace is easy. Seven nights means one or two big outings a day, with time left for cafes and a jacket-weather stroll by the bay.

Where to stay in San Francisco
We checked three hotels, and all three showed free cancellation. Comfort Inn By the Bay is the best value at $2,182 for the stay ($312 a night), with breakfast included and a 7.7 review score from 1,717 reviews. It's in the Marina District, which puts you close to the Golden Gate and Crissy Field. Holiday Inn San Francisco - Golden Gateway newly renovated with No Resort Fee is the top rated, at 8.4 from 4,155 reviews, for $3,513 ($502 a night), room only.
