Which Airport to Use - and When

• OAK (Oakland): Best for ultra-cheap domestic fares on Frontier and Spirit. Parking is significantly cheaper than SFO ($18-22/day vs SFO's $35+). BART does not serve OAK directly - take the free airport shuttle from the Coliseum BART station. This week's $38 Vegas fare is a perfect example of why OAK is worth the extra 20-minute drive from San Francisco.

• SJC (San Jose): Ideal for South Bay residents. Shorter security lines than SFO for most of the day. Frontier operates solid routes to SoCal from here. Rideshare pickup is quick and well-organized.

• SFO (San Francisco): The powerhouse for international flights. Best for Europe (multiple nonstop carriers), Asia-Pacific (JAL, ANA, United, Singapore Airlines, Qantas), and Mexico (United has the deepest nonstop network). BART connects directly to SFO's international terminal - a huge advantage for city travelers. Premium cabin availability is best here by far.

Hidden Route Gems This Week

• SFO → Vancouver on Flair Airlines ($188): Flair is a Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier that does not always show up on mainstream search engines. Search directly on Google Flights or the Flair website to confirm availability.

• SFO → Tokyo Narita ($708 Economy): Multiple airlines are competing on this route in December - check each carrier separately if your preferred dates are sold out at this price.

• OAK → Las Vegas ($38): Frontier's bare-bones fare - carry-on bags and seat selection cost extra. If you travel light with just a personal item, this is a genuine $38 round-trip.

• SFO → Cancun Business at $1,125: Business Class to Cancun for the price of a regular Economy international ticket is extraordinary - the seats on United's widebody are fully flat.
