San Francisco from Baltimore, Nov 14–21: $2,543 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Chelsea Inn scores 8.2 from 1,885 reviews and has free cancellation
- $82 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Highs of 58–62°F, good for the Golden Gate Bridge walk
The catch: The Frontier flight has one stop and takes 13h 26m on the way out, and a checked bag is about $240 for two, which isn't in the total.
Worth it if a one-stop flight and some November drizzle don't bother you; skip it if you want a nonstop or warm, clear days.
Worth it if you don't mind a stop: $2,543 for two, all in. That's Frontier flights at $724, Chelsea Inn at $1,595 and $224 in fees paid at the hotel, with taxes included. You fly out Saturday, Nov 14 and come back Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, for 7 nights, and the Frontier flight isn't nonstop: one stop and 13h 26m door to gate on the way out.

Why now
The fare is $362 per person, or $724 for two. That's $82 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, 18% less, across 12 offers we checked. With the hotel and its $224 in property fees, the trip comes to $2,543 for two. A checked bag and spending money cost extra. Prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change. November isn't the clear season here (that's September and October). Expect highs of 58–62°F and lows near 50°F. The weather normals show drizzle on Nov 14 and Nov 18 and rain on Nov 20. It's still fine weather for climbing the hills, riding cable cars and eating your way through Chinatown and the Mission. A full week leaves room to work around a wet day. Chelsea Inn has free cancellation, so you can hold the room now and still change your mind.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city week built on food and walking: dim sum, burritos, cable cars and bay views from the hills, plus a day out to see the redwoods. It suits a couple or two friends who like a steady, unhurried pace and don't mind packing a jacket. Seven nights gives you time for the big sights and for slow days in the neighborhoods.

Yes, if you're fine with a stop. The fare is $82 per person below the highest we saw for these dates, the hotel scores 8.2 and you get a full week. The trade-off is a 13h 26m outbound trip on Frontier and some drizzle in the forecast.

Do I need a passport?
No. Baltimore to San Francisco is a domestic flight, so a valid ID is enough, and everything is priced in US dollars.
