San Francisco (SJC) to Sydney (SYD)

Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, you're going to need a great deal on a flight to Sydney. Because when you finally land, you have a city that is waiting to be explored, and that extra cash in your pocket can take your trip from "meh" to amazing. You're on the perfect page to grab a killer rate on your upcoming flight from San Francisco. Whether you are an expert at navigating the friendly skies or aerial amateur, read on to see how to book a too-good-to-be-true flight.

How do you get the best deal on a flight from San Francisco to Sydney?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, so we know a few ways to find the best rate on your flight to Sydney. You'll make spending less look so very good with a little know-how.

Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

With the right attitude and flexibility, you can fly for less. Below are the cheapest days to fly:

  • Tuesday and Wednesday—You know how most stores are not crowded midweek? Same thing here. Most people opt to depart at the beginning or end of the week.
  • Thursday and Saturday—Get a head start on that Friday crowd. This also works on your return flight. Shorten your vacay by a day and increase your savings.
  • Monday through Thursday—If you're flying internationally, deals are often available when departing these days.

Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to SJC can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less elastic itineraries, so that means savings for you. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.

What are shoulder seasons?

Have good weather, will travel. Summertime is when Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are at their most popular. Florida, New Orleans, and Southern California are the most popular in springtime. Winter is prime for Mexico and the Caribbean because of its warm weather, as well as ski and snowboard destinations like the Colorado Rockies. Who doesn't love some good fall foliage? The Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and New England are popular this time of the year. If you can plan your trip around these peak seasons, you'll not only save money, but you'll typically avoid the crowds. Win-win in our books.

Jump on that great rate
