Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a quick travel win that might help some of you planning a trip to the Bay Area. I recently managed to find cheap airfare to San Francisco, and honestly, I was surprised at how affordable the options were—especially given how expensive flights have become lately.
I’d been checking rates on and off for the past few weeks and noticed that prices tend to fluctuate a lot depending on the day and time you search. What worked for me was flying mid-week (I booked a Tuesday departure) and being a bit flexible with travel dates. That alone brought the price down significantly.
I also compared different platforms before locking in my ticket. While a lot of the big-name travel sites show decent fares, I stumbled across a lesser-known site called Flightaura that had some really competitive rates. Not promoting anything here—just thought it was worth mentioning for anyone else looking for affordable flight deals.
Another tip: consider flying into Oakland or San Jose and taking public transport into San Francisco. I found that flights to those nearby airports were even cheaper and still super convenient.
If you’re planning a trip soon, it’s definitely worth setting up fare alerts. I had one running for a while, and the price drop alert was what finally pushed me to book. Also, try clearing your browser cookies or using incognito mode—it sounds like a myth, but I noticed it helped when comparing prices.
Hope this helps someone out there! Let me know if you’ve also scored a good deal or have tips on booking low-cost flights to San Francisco. Always happy to hear more travel hacks.
Safe travels,
Harvey Mary
