What airlines fly direct from Mascot Airport to San Francisco Intl. Airport (SFO)?
Stale, expensive sandwiches, metal chairs ... Airport stopovers aren't that much fun. But you don't have to tolerate any of that if you book your seat with United Airlines. The airline offers nonstop flights from Mascot Airport to San Francisco Airport.
What are the cheapest days to fly?
Here's an insider tip: Monday is typically the cheapest day to fly! Looking at flight demand on Wotif in 2021, we found that flights departing on a Monday generally had the lowest average price, closely followed by flights on a Saturday. You might want to think twice about flying on a Thursday though; generally, our data showed that it had the highest average ticket price.
What is the best day to buy a plane ticket?
Guess what? It turns out that early in the week is the best time to score the cheapest plane tickets. Looking at flight demand on Wotif in 2021, we found that flights purchased on a Monday had the lowest airfares on average. Booking your plane ticket on the weekend also seems to score pretty good deals. However, airfares purchased on a Friday generally have a higher than average ticket value, so you might want to prepare your budget if you're booking on that day.
