Why go now
At $182 per person all-in, this fare is $222 below the typical fare on this route. Our earlier checks put that typical fare at $404 per person, so you're paying 55% less. It also has the Lowest in 30 days badge: across 9 checks in the past 30 days, nothing came in under $182, and the 12 fares we saw ran from $182 to $288 per person. For two, the flights come to $364. November isn't the city's warm stretch. Typical highs are 58–62°F, with drizzle or rain on a few days, so pack layers and a rain jacket. In return you get a full week to walk the hills, eat well and ride the ferry without cramming it all into a weekend. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food week: cable cars, bay views, dim sum, burritos and a day out among the redwoods. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like to walk, eat and wander at an easy pace, with seven nights to spread things out. With cool, often gray weather, the trip is more about neighborhoods and long lunches than sunshine.
