Located in the "Bay Area" of Northern California, this compact city of 750,000 crams its inhabitants into 47 sq miles of hilltops and steep grades. San Francisco is a cultural, social, open-minded city where much of the population uses forms of transportation other than the automobile, and therefore gets to know their neighbors and community areas better. Maybe this is a reason why San Francisco is so famous for its vehicles of transportation, including red cable cars and the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and for its transpiration infrastructure, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge.

Before you go to San Francisco to leave your heart, bring your jacket. San Francisco can get chilly even in the summer, which lead Mark Twain to coin the phrase, "The coldest winter I ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco". Many tourists like to call San Francisco - "Frisco" - but the locals like to semi-pompously refer to it as "The City". Must do activities in San Francisco include grabbing a clam chowder bread bowl at the Embarcadero, driving across the Golden Gate Bridge up through Marin County, eating dim sum in Chinatown and taking a boat ride to Alcatraz Island.

Discount Carriers Serving San Francisco San Francisco Intl Airport (SFO)
Do you consider yourself a savvy flyer? Learn more below about the following discount carriers serving San Francisco (SFO). Follow links below to potentially save more on your flight.

Virgin America, Sun Country, Southwest, JetBlue, Horizon, Frontier and AirTran are the seven domestic discount carriers flying into San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Having seven low-cost carriers flying into one airport tends to keep fare levels low. However, SFO is a fortress hub for legacy carrier United Airlines, meaning they fly over 70% of the flights here, so this can push fares up.

Virgin America also has their hub at San Francisco and flies direct to seven cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Boston. Southwest also flies direct to seven, including Chicago and Los Angeles. JetBlue flies direct from SFO to Long Beach, Austin and JFK, and AirTran to Milwaukee and Atlanta.

The two international low-fare carriers that fly into San Francisco are Ireland-based Aer Lingus, which flies direct to Dublin, and Canada-based WestJet, direct to Calgary.

The three airports within a two-hour drive of SFO are Oakland (OAK), 30 miles, San Jose (SJC), 32 miles, and Sacramento (SMF), 101 miles away. Oakland (OAK) is a popular airport for visiting San Francisco, in part, to escape the longer lines at SFO. Travelers can access the San Francisco city center pretty seamlessly from here via BART. FYI, SFO serves just fewer than 40 million passengers per year.
