San Francisco and Cheap Airfare
San Francisco and Cheap Airfare
It isn’t always possible to find super cheap flights to San Francisco but you will be money ahead if you start your search as soon as you know you either need to be, or want to be in San Francisco at a certain time. Planning in advance can save you lots of money because the airlines want to sell as many seats as possible as soon as possible. If you find a trip to San Francisco and cheap airfare on the dates you are interested in, book it immediately. You won’t have to worry about an increase coming that you didn’t anticipate; once your ticket is booked they can’t come back and raise the price!
When you are in San Francisco there are so many things to do and see, not just the Golden Gate Bridge. The city is alive with cultural opportunities, tours to the areas such as Alcatraz Island. This tour takes you to the island and the guide tells you about the life of those that were incarcerated on the island. You will get a tour of the cell areas, the dining room and outside on the grounds. It’s easy to see why no one really wanted to end up in this prison, the cells are little, the dining room dingy and isolation from others rather obvious with it being on an island.
There is also Fisherman’s Wharf that offers a wide array of things to see from the free shows that are held on the grounds which may be a magician or musician to the seals that are around the wharf. The seals are fascinating to see and the smell is nearly overpowering. It’s not a pleasant smell, but it’s part of a herd being there. You can feed them (and they love it) with the food that you can buy from vendors on the wharf.
You can get a tour lined up to visit the wine country of Napa Valley. Here you will be able to visit the tasting rooms, perhaps see where they store the wine in barrels in caves at the wineries or walk through the acres of grapes waiting to be picked. The area is beautiful and the wineries so hospitable that you will surely enjoy your experience.
Maybe you want to see the area from an airship. The Airship Venture Zeppelin has begun taking tours around the bay area. On this airship you will be able to be one of 12 passengers on a 60, 90 or 120 minute ride above the bay area. It is an experience that few people have had the opportunity to do since there has not been a ship like this in the US for over 50 years. Be one of the first to take this tour and enjoy the views and talking to the pilot. You will be glad you did.
There are 42 airlines that service the San Francisco airport with both domestic and international flights. You may want to check rates at the airline websites or check with a site like Travelocity to get the best rates available on their site. San Francisco and cheap airfare make a wonderful combination for a super California vacation.
