Take advantage of the best off-season rates on flights out of SFO before prices climb back up in May.

Pro tip: If you come across deals or discounts that sound almost too good to be true, they probably are. Budget airlines such as Spirit usually offer the cheapest face-value tickets available, but at a cost—you can end-up paying as much as a $100 per carry-on, each way. Triple-check the fine print—seating assignments, carry-on policies, pricing, etc.—before finalizing your booking.

Pro tip: To save when traveling internationally, regardless of the season, try to book red-eye flights leaving between Monday and Wednesday. Generally speaking, mid-week, late-night departures will yield the most affordable ticket prices. Plus, you can fall straight to sleep in one country, and wake up in another.
