San Francisco

The journey begins

Private jet to San Francisco

Architecture, bay scenery and varied neighbourhoods give San Francisco a strong city-break identity, with wine-country extensions requiring additional transfer time.

Where to land for San Francisco

San Francisco International serves the peninsula, while Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport is across the bay. Compare the actual city or Bay Area address and the likely ground journey before settling on an airport.

The operating carrier should confirm aircraft suitability, handling, permissions and the onward transfer for your itinerary.

What to do in San Francisco

The waterfront, Golden Gate setting and distinct neighbourhoods make San Francisco a rewarding walking city. Pair a museum or island visit with time in a smaller area such as North Beach. A wine-country journey is a separate excursion rather than a quick extension of every city day.

Best time to visit San Francisco

September–October often offers relatively warm city weather. Spring is also appealing; summer fog and cool coastal temperatures can surprise visitors.
