Snap up San Francisco deal for $195 R-T on United

Who doesn’t love a rock-bottom airline deal? Today’s best travel deal might be considered one of the best this winter — although the deal is good through early January of 2010!

Do try to take advantage of this offer as it’s to one of the most beloved cities on the planet — San Francisco. If you have never before visited the “City by the Bay,” find a way to eek out some free time to experience this dynamic destination — even if it’s over a weekend.

The round-trip deal of $194.41 comes from United Airlines. That rate includes every tax, fee and fuel surcharge (from a base rate of $152).

The rules are simple: Give at least a one-week advance notice of travel.

That’s about it. There are no blackout dates or minimum stay requirements. And this rate is valid seven days a week. What’s more, this sale is valid on travel finished on or before Jan. 13, 2010.

A booking tip: United serves SFO via flight connections in Washington, D.C., Chicago O’Hare and Denver International. Try booking both outbound and return flights via DEN. You’ll shave off a bit of the flight time doing so.

Also, if you book flights via Denver, you do have the option to stopover for four or more hours (and as long as you desire) for an additional $56 fee. This stopover, valid in either direction or in both directions, must be confirmed at the time of ticket purchase.
