Peak Season:

You’ll find the waterfront more crowded as well as accommodating and restaurants a lot busier. For any flight to San Francisco during this time of year make sure to book in advance. While in San Francisco it’s well worth a visit to ‘the rock’, otherwise known as Alcatraz prison. You can get a tour and relive the iconic place in person.
Off season:
The off season is winter time, however this is also when the ballet and opera seasons are at their peak, making it a great time to visit. January often has cheap flights to San Francisco and also hosts the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday. It consists of a 1.5 mile march, with civil rights advocates, singers and performers all adding to the festivities and bringing Martin Luther King’s message back to the forefront. From the middle of September until the middle of November is a great time to visit, most of the tourists have left and the city is still warm and sunny, making it a perfect time to book cheap flights to San Francisco then.

It was weird that we had to check after security and go to a corral which had no bathroom or other services about an hour before boarding. Had to check out of the corral to leave and check back in.

San Francisco International Airport is located 21km (13 miles) south of downtown San Francisco and is the largest airport in the Bay Area and the second-busiest airport in California.
Comprising four terminals – Terminals 1, 2, 3 and the International Terminal – that form a ring around a multi-storey Domestic Parking garage, San Francisco International is easy to navigate. Terminals 1-3 handle all domestic flights, while the International Terminal mainly manages international flights. Customs, immigrations and baggage claims are generally fast; staff are friendly, signage is good and transport to and from the airport is excellent. Delays are common, though, due to the region’s adverse weather patterns; however, there are plans to extend the runways in order to aid aircraft flying in low visibility conditions.
San Francisco International is clean and modern. With its newly revamped Terminal 2 housing an award-winning aviation museum and library, along with an extensive array of retail, dining, entertainment and health establishments, it is truly a world-class facility.
Flights to San Francisco International Airport comes from a number of destinations worldwide, including Toronto, Paris, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, Seoul, Lima, Frankfurt, Singapore, San Salvador, Beijing, Mexico City, Sydney and Cancun, in addition to numerous domestic routes.
