Travel to San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the most attractive towns on the West Coast because of the famous Golden Gate Bridge, a beautiful waterfront, and a thriving downtown. Orbitz.com can help you book a cheap flight to San Francisco and save you time and money on your whole vacation.

Arriving in San Francisco

Flights into San Francisco land at San Francisco International Airport, located at South San Francisco on the edge of the San Francisco Bay. With over 15 restaurants and many small shops around the terminals, you are sure to find the food you like and buy some souvenirs to help you remember your vacation. San Francisco's BART rapid rail service provides the fastest mode of public transportation to get from the airport to downtown, but it will cost you $8.25 for a one-way ticket. Travelers can also take the SamTrans bus, which costs $2 for a one-way trip or $6 for an all-day pass.

Exploring San Francisco

Once you arrive in San Francisco, you can see the West Coast's most iconic bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge. From the bridge, you can see the old Alcatraz prison, which is no longer in use for prisoners. However, you can still take tours of the facility. For a good view of the city, head to the Twin Peaks and see the city from above. The Land's End trails are perfect for those who like to get out and do some hiking. Because of the coastal climate, the weather stays fairly moderate, dropping down to about 50 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and averaging between 55 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer months.

Visit the Beautiful San Francisco

San Francisco offers gorgeous views and a vast array of exciting activities that allow you to get outside and enjoy the city and its landmarks. Let Orbitz.com help you book cheap flights to San Francisco, as well as find deals on hotel rooms and car rentals.

Nothing's more enjoyable than jetting off on vacation, but it pays to be prepared. These handy tips will help get your journey off to an excellent start:

  • Whether you print it out beforehand or use an electronic one, you'll need your boarding pass to walk on to the plane. You'll also need some sort of government-issued photo identification. If you're traveling internationally, make sure your passport is valid and you've checked visa requirements.
  • To keep you occupied on the short hop to San Francisco, download some new songs or restock the podcast library on your phone. Food can also be a delicious distraction while in the air, so pack some light snacks.
  • Even if you're traveling when it's hot and sticky outside, take a cardigan or sweater on board with you. Cabins are notorious for getting downright cold.
