Seeing the cultural attractions and outdoor activities in Palm Springs is even easier when you book your domestic flight with Orbitz.com because Orbitz offers low prices every day of the year.

San Francisco, California

San Francisco is home to several important historic districts, including Haight-Ashbury- where the counter-culture revolution came to life. When you drive your own car to the San Francisco International Airport, look for the long-term parking lot. This lot only costs $18 per day, and you get a ride to the terminal on a free shuttle bus. There are other parking garages that are closer to the airport, but the prices at these garages start at $28 per day.

Taxis make regular stops at the airport for those who need another way there, and you will pay $29 or more for the ride. Limousine rides to the airport are even more expensive, while rides on the various forms of public transportation often cost less than $10. The San Francisco International Airport is also home to dozens of restaurants and cafes, including Amoura Café, Deli Up Café, Burger Joint, Burger King, Lori's Diner, and Peet's Coffee & Tea.

Palm Springs, California

Located southeast of San Bernardino, Palm Springs is home to dozens of golf courses, hiking trails, and other activities that appeal to travelers who love the outdoors. The city also has spas, upscale dining options, and shopping centers used by both locals and tourists. With warm weather and popular activities, it's no surprise that this is a top spot for people visiting California.

Explore Palm Springs

Whether you arrive in Palm Springs on a flight from Delta Air Lines, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, or one of the other airlines serving the city, you will find yourself at the Palm Springs International Airport. American Cab, Desert City Cab, and Yellow Cab of the Desert handle fares from the airport, and the city buses also make stops here. Many travelers prefer getting a car from one of the onsite rental agencies, including Go Rentals, Alamo, and Enterprise. Renting a car lets you see the city without depending on someone else.

Summertime is one of the worst times to visit Palm Springs because, from June to September, the temperature can reach more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The late winter and early spring is the best time to visit because the daytime temperatures range from the low 70s to high 80s, though nighttime temperatures can drop to 42 degrees.

These warm temperatures let you take advantage of outdoor activities like the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, San Jacinto Mountain, Palm Springs Zoo & Botanical Gardens, Palm Canyon, and Indian Canyons. During a heat wave or thunderstorm, head inside to popular sites such as the Palm Springs Art Museum or the Palm Springs Air Museum.
