San Francisco from Hartford, Nov 14–21: $2,534 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Southwest leaves at 3:50 PM and lands at 9:20 PM
- $407 per person, $118 below the highest fare we saw
- La Luna Inn: 7.5 from 1,217 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: The flight has one stop and takes 8h 30m, and November means highs of 58–62°F, with drizzle or rain on three days.
Worth it if you want a week of food and city walks in a jacket; skip it if you need sun or a nonstop.
Worth it if one stop and a gray November don't bother you. The trip is $2,799 for two, all in: Southwest flights at $814, plus 7 nights at La Luna Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel, at $1,739 and its $246 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and come home Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, and each way has one stop (8h 30m from Hartford).

Why now
At $407 per person, the Southwest fare is $118 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 22% gap across the 12 offers we checked. That makes the whole trip $2,799 for two, all in, with the hotel and its property fees. A checked bag (about $140 for two) and spending money come on top. November comes after September and October, when the weather is warmest and clearest. Plan on highs of 58–62°F, lows near 50°F, overcast skies most days, drizzle on Nov 14 and 18 and rain on Nov 20. This week is built for eating, cable cars and ferry rides rather than lying in the sun. Seven nights gives you time for a day at Muir Woods too. These prices were all in when we found them, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food week at an easy pace: dim sum and burritos, cable cars over the hills, a ferry to Alcatraz and a day with the redwoods. Seven nights means you can walk the neighborhoods without rushing. It suits a couple or two friends who like to layer up and wander. It's less of a fit for anyone after beach weather or a packed nightlife schedule.
