How much is a flight from San Francisco to Paris?

"How much is the San Francisco to Paris flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Let us know for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from San Francisco to Paris: how to pay less

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares

Departure: San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Flights from San Francisco to Paris leave from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), serving San Francisco - san Francisco is the city of the Golden Gate, the cable cars, Alcatraz and the wine country an hour north. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: BART runs from the airport to Powell Street and Embarcadero in about 30 minutes and suits a single traveller with light luggage; a private car is simpler for families, late arrivals, Fisherman's Wharf or hotels off the BART line, and essential for day trips to Muir Woods, Napa or Yosemite.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in San Francisco to San Francisco International Airport

Arrival: Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and getting into Paris

Arrival is at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Paris is served by Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) about 25 km north-east of the centre and Orly (ORY) about 14 km south, with Beauvais far to the north; the Seine divides the Right Bank of the Louvre, Champs-Élysées and Montmartre from the Left Bank of the Eiffel Tower, Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter, and Disneyland Paris lies about 40 km east of the city. We provide airport transfers in Paris with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Many passengers continue from Paris to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the San Francisco to Paris flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from San Francisco to Paris. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
