San Francisco from Norfolk, Nov 14–21: $2,863 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Chelsea Inn scores 8.2 from 1,883 reviews in the Marina District
- Free cancellation at all three hotels we checked
- Highs of 58–62°F, fine for walking the Golden Gate Bridge
The catch: The $522 fare is above the $471 typical, with two stops and 28h 30m on the way out; a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if your dates are fixed and you don't mind a long travel day; skip it if you can wait for a better fare.

Why now
$522 per person is what we found, against a typical $471 from earlier checks on this route, and our lowest check was $438. That's the main reason to hold off: you'd be paying more than this route usually costs, and still taking two stops with 28h 30m on the way out. The rest of the picture is fine. Mid-November brings typical highs of 58–62°F and lows near 50°F, with a mix of clear, overcast and drizzly days and one rain day in the outlook. Chelsea Inn keeps the hotel side at $1,595 for the week with free cancellation, so the total of $2,863 for two is mostly the fare. If you want a city week of food, bridges and bay views, keep an eye on this one and come back when the fare drops nearer typical.
The kind of trip this is
A city week with food, culture and easy nature on the side. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk, ride cable cars and eat their way through neighborhoods, with a day trip to the redwoods. The pace is relaxed: 7 nights gives room for one big outing a day, cool layers and an unhurried dinner.
