KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl Airport to San Francisco

  • Looking for a cheap flight? 25% of our users found flights on this route for ₹ 21,205 or less one-way and ₹ 42,047 or less round-trip.
  • Washington is home to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), and Dulles International Airport (IAD). Only IAD offers flights to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) among the three. Thus, you’ll have to head to IAD to board your flight to San Francisco.
  • The means of travel you use to travel to IAD will depend on how quickly you want to get to the airport and how much you can afford as fare. If you want to get to this airport quickly, you should catch a taxi, whereas if you’d like to travel economically to the airport, you should travel by bus. The metro trains that serve the station are a little slower than the taxis and a bit more expensive than the buses. As this is the case, if you’d like to balance the cost and speed of your journey to IAD, you should board a train.
  • Before entering IAD, one must go through several security checkpoints. These checkpoints are usually characterized by long queues. Because of the queues, these checkpoints usually take a lot of time to clear. On numerous occasions, passengers have missed their flights at IAD after being unable to go through the airport’s security checkpoints in time. To avoid such a fate, on your departure date to SFO, you should reach IAD at least 1h 30min before your flight so that you have enough time to go through the checkpoints.
  • At SFO, if you’d like to charge your phone, you can do so at one of the power outlets spread across the airport for free. However, these outlets charge phones slowly. If you’re willing to pay a small fee to charge your phone quickly, you can visit the quick-charge stations near Gate 23 in Terminal 1, near Gate 61 in Terminal 2, and Gate 87 in Terminal 3.
  • If you require medical assistance while at SFO, visit the SFO Medical Clinic on the Boarding Area A side of the International Terminal. On Monday to Friday, it is normally open from 7 am to 7 pm, while on Saturdays, it is usually open from 9 am to 4 pm.

Flight was changed twice. Original flight was scheduled at 5:30pm. Weeks before flight, flight was changed to 7:00pm. On the date of flight, flight was delayed and departed at 9:00pm. This caused many problems and significantly affected our schedule at our destination.

They canceled my flight going back to SF after I was at the airport. Wanted me to take a flight 14 hours later. Not a happy camper.

I didn’t like not knowing my seat till I got to the airport - and my boarding group was F (last).

Clean plane, relatively spacious in Main Cabin. One experience: I'm 79, with torn rotator cuff (R shoulder). I asked for help getting my carryon into the overhead bin and was told that the staff "does not help with this" (or some such phrase. On previous flights, help has been offered (and accepted). I prevailed on a fellow passenger for this. Also, why not board back to front?? Would this not help in the speed of boarding?

No tv, movies for a 6 hour flight! Worst airline I have ever travelled!

Ground crew was great in Austin, flight crew left a lot to be desired. Not particularly friendly, helpful or nice.

Like South West(2 check in baggage free) if Alaskan Airlines could give at least one check in baggage free then it would be great.

Staff great. Tight seating. Pretzels and drink same as any other airline.

Horrible. I likely will have to spend several thousand dollars to rebook my international flights, due to their delays, plus a hotel in SF. I can’t wait to never fly them again!

The messaging about the change in flight destination and options for getting to SFO was poor. There should have been frequent updates. When I spoke to the boarding agent moment before we were supposed to board, he was flippant and offered no help before the announcement was made that transportation would be arranged. It was as poor of an experience that I've ever had.

Somehow I got “offloaded” even though I had my boarding pass and was in transit Food is horrible Staff were nice and cheerful No headphones were provided on 11 hours flight

Overall the flights pretty good. The snacks we’re good and they were plenty of them. Both boarding and deplaning went quickly.

Delayed abs delayed Gate crew giving poor info - we are definitely leaving at —- Ultimately to cancel flight after 4+ hours of delays Just cancel it earlier

The flight was scheduled to depart DCA at 12:30 pm but was delayed twice on the ground so that we were finally scheduled to depart at around 4:00 pm. Once we boarded, it was announced that takeoff would be delayed again to fix a hydraulic problem which delayed our eventual takeoff until around 5:00 pm. Once we departed, it was a smooth flight back to ORD. We did not get any explanation about what caused the original significant delay. In my experience, this happens frequently with AA.

Plane was good but was delayed. probably not AA fault but caused a 1 hour delay. Seating was cramped.

The staff were very helpful with lots of refreshments on offer. The toilets were clean. The seats were comfortable and entertainment was good. No complaints, it was excellent.

Lots of weather delays that were poorly communicated and managed. I get there are weather delays but they didn’t make it clear what was happening or comfortable on the plane

Everything was on time; the flight attendants and the gate personnel were very pleasant and helpful.

Our second leg to Jackson WY was unable to land due to weather. We were flown back to Dallas after stopping in SLC. We were given hotel rooms and vouchers. We were told that we would be back on the same plane in the morning. Instead we were given a different flight with different seats. Not a good experience. No one knew what was going on.

Perfect flight. On time departure and early arrival. Smooth flight.
