Why go now
$595 per person round trip, all-in, is $4 under $599, the median of 7 earlier checks we ran on this route. That's a gap of about 1%, so call it a fair price, not a markdown. The lowest fare we logged was $592. The real reason to go now is the timing. September and October bring San Francisco's warmest, clearest weather of the year. This forecast fits that pattern, with highs of 73°F, lows of 57°F to 60°F and rain chances of 6% or less. October is also when Fleet Week happens. The hotels we checked start at $326 for both nights, and all three offer free cancellation, so you can lock in a room while you think it over. It's a good fit for a city-and-food weekend with some time outdoors. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city getaway with a lot of food and some easy nature thrown in: cable cars, bay views, dim sum and a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. It suits a couple who want a romantic long weekend or two friends who like to eat their way through a city. With one full day on the ground, plan for a brisk pace: pick a neighborhood or two and leave room for a long lunch.
