The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $182 per person, $222 below the typical fare on this route
- Chelsea Inn near the Marina: 8.2 from 1,885 reviews, free cancellation
- A full week for the Golden Gate, Alcatraz and cable cars
The catch: The Southwest fare has one stop and takes 5h 5m, November usually brings drizzle and a rain day, and resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if a stop and cool, gray November days don't bother you; skip it if you'd rather pay $424 for two for the 2h 14m Alaska nonstop.
Worth it if you're fine with a stop: $1,986 for two, which is the Southwest flights at $364 plus 7 nights at Chelsea Inn at $1,622, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Nov 14–21, 2026, leaving Seattle at 3:10 PM on Saturday, Nov 14, with one stop and 5h 5m of travel. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
The fare is $182 per person, $222 below the typical fare on this route, and it's the lowest we've seen in 30 days. That's 55% under the $404 this route usually runs. Fares we checked for these dates ranged from $182 to $288 per person across 12 offers. In mid-November, San Francisco usually sees highs of 58–62°F and lows near 50°F. That's jacket weather, not beach weather. The seasonal normals show drizzle on Nov 14 and Nov 18 and rain on Nov 20. It's a good fit for a city week: dim sum, cable cars, long lunches in North Beach, and a clear or overcast day saved for the bridge walk. With seven nights, you have room to move plans around a wet day. Prices are what we found when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food week for two at an easy pace. San Francisco is compact and hilly, so your days mix walking, cable cars and ferries with long meals in Chinatown, North Beach and the Mission. It suits couples or friends who want neighborhoods, bay views and a day trip to the redwoods more than sun. Pack layers, since highs stay around 60°F.
