Why March is the Cheapest Month from SFO (Data + Deals)
Hey Bay Area,
Ken here — your local SFO deal hunter.
If you've ever wondered why March feels like the "secret" month for cheap flights from San Francisco, you're not alone. Data from Google Flights, Kayak, and Skyscanner consistently shows March as one of the lowest-price months for SFO departures (often beating January/February by 10-20%).
The Data Behind March Magic
Post-Holiday Slump: January-February see high demand from holiday returns and New Year's resolutions, but by March, airlines drop prices to fill seats.
Pre-Spring Break: April-May spike with family vacations — March is the "shoulder" sweet spot.
Weather Factor: SFO's fog is lighter, but destinations like Hawaii/Mexico are pre-peak (cheaper than summer).
Historical Lows: Average SFO round-trip in March: $300-400 vs. $500+ in summer (Kayak/Skyscanner 2025 data).
