Why now
At $107 per person round trip, this fare is $10 below the typical fare on this route. That's 9% under the $117 median from 23 earlier checks. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $107 to $118, so this one sits at the low end of what we found. Prices include taxes and fees as of the time we checked, and they can change. The flight is nonstop on Frontier. It leaves LAX on Saturday, Nov 14 at 7:03 PM and lands at SFO at 8:32 PM, so you lose no vacation days. Mid-November is cool, with typical highs of 58–62°F and lows near 50°F, so bring layers and a rain jacket. The weather suits a week of walking the hills, eating through Chinatown and the Mission and taking a day trip to Muir Woods.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food week with some nature and plenty of romance. It's good for a couple, or for friends who like to walk, eat and ride cable cars more than lie on a beach. You can take it slowly: a full week gives you time for Alcatraz, a day in the redwoods and long lunches. Even so, on cooler, gray days you'll want indoor backup plans.
