Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from San Francisco Airport to SEE last minute?
Being spontaneous is a rewarding way to explore the globe, but it's not always the best method to score a bargain flight. Consider booking your San Francisco Airport to SEE journey ahead of time instead of waiting till the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Leave all that spontaneity for when you're discovering SEE!
