San Francisco from Cleveland, Nov 14–21: $2,300 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $293 per person, $87 below the highest fare we saw
- Royal Pacific Motor Inn: 8/10 from 1,943 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 58–62°F for walking the Golden Gate Bridge
The catch: It's one stop and 7 hours out on Delta, the normals show drizzle or rain on three of eight days, and a checked bag is about $140 for two.
Worth it if you want a week of food and walking in a cool, hilly city; skip it if you need a nonstop or beach sun.
Worth it if a one-stop flight doesn't bother you: $2,300 for two, all in, covers the flights at $586, the Royal Pacific Motor Inn at $1,490 and the hotel's $224 in fees paid at the property, taxes included. That's 7 nights, Nov 14–21, 2026, on Delta (operated by SkyWest as Delta Connection) with one stop, leaving Cleveland at 7:00 AM and landing at SFO at 11:00 AM. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
The fare is $293 per person, which is $87 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, or 23% under it. We looked at 12 offers, and all three flights we sampled came in at $586 for two. Mid-November comes after the warm, clear stretch of September and October. Plan on highs of 58–62°F and lows near 50°F, with one clear day on Nov 15 and a few gray or drizzly ones. That's jacket weather, and it works for a city you see on foot: the bridge, the hills, Chinatown, the Mission. A full week leaves room to save Muir Woods or Alcatraz for the driest day. These are all-in prices as we found them, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food week for two at an easy pace: dim sum, burritos, cable cars, a bridge walk and a day out in the redwoods. It suits couples or friends who like to walk and eat their way through a place and don't need beach weather. With seven nights there's no rushing, so you can pick the clear day for the views.

Is it worth it?
Worth it if one stop is fine with you. The fare is $87 below the highest one we saw for these dates, the best-value hotel scores 8/10 with free cancellation, and a week gives you time for the bridge, Alcatraz and Muir Woods.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $2,300 all in: $586 for both flights, $1,490 for 7 nights at Royal Pacific Motor Inn and $224 in fees paid at the hotel, taxes included. A checked bag, about $140 for two, and spending money are on top of that.
How long is the flight?
The fare we picked leaves at 7:00 AM and lands at 11:00 AM local time: 7 hours with one stop. A 10:46 AM departure takes 6h 40m and lands at 2:26 PM, at the same $586 for two.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic flight from Cleveland Hopkins to San Francisco International, and you'll pay in US dollars.

It's cool. Typical highs are 58–62°F with lows near 50°F. The normals show Nov 15 clear, drizzle on Nov 14 and Nov 18, rain on Nov 20 and overcast skies on the other days, so pack layers and a rain jacket.

Yes, for the main sights. Seven nights covers the Golden Gate walk to Sausalito, Alcatraz, cable cars, Chinatown and the Mission, Muir Woods and Pier 39, with spare days to work around the drizzle.
