San Francisco (SJC) to Cape Town (CPT)
What was that? A trip to Cape Town! Well, looks like you'll need a flight from San Francisco pretty soon. Well, unless you'd rather walk. And although we agree walking is great exercise, you probably want to get there before the end of the year. Fortunately, you found us. We can get you a great rate on your ticket from SJC to CPT.
How can you get a great rate on tickets from SJC to CPT?
We've been doing this for a long time, which means getting that great deal on a Cape Town flight is easy-peasy. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a little know-how.
What is the best day of the week to book a flight?
It pays to be a weekday warrior. Those middle children of the work week, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next, Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most people like to come back from their trip on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.
What's the Saturday night stay rule?
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 flexible schedules, so that means more savings for you. We're all for that!
What are shoulder seasons?
It's all about going to a place when its weather is at its best. Summertime is when Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are at their most popular. Florida, New Orleans, and Southern California are the most popular in springtime. Feeling the bitter cold? Well, the Caribbean Islands and Mexico can warm you up. Unless you're a ski bum -- then places like Colorado will be your winter wonderland. Who doesn't love that harvest of autumn colors? 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.
