Your guide to booking Bengaluru to San Francisco flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly, and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Monday departure and avoid flying on Friday. On this route, Monday flights average C$ 1,524, about C$ 189 less than Friday fares (11% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 26 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 33% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Bengaluru to San Francisco trip for December. Fares historically average C$ 1,285 round-trip in that month – typically C$ 596 less than the most expensive month, which is July (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Intl Airport (BOM) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages C$ 1,210 round-trip on this route – about C$ 14 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • Flights from Bengaluru to San Francisco will land at the main airport, San Francisco International Airport, which is situated around 20 km outside the city centre. There are no direct flights from Bengaluru to San Francisco, with most carriers making at least one stop. The carriers on this route include Jet Airways and Delta Air Lines (operated by Air France).
  • If you want to escape the bustle of the airport, consider checking in to the Plaza Premium Lounge located after security at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru. This lounge accepts passengers travelling in all classes and walk-in guests are welcome. For a reasonable fee you can take advantage of the food and beverages on offer, as well as gaining access to free Internet, newspapers and magazines.
  • Travellers stressed by flying should look out for San Francisco International Airport’s ‘Wag Brigade’, especially if you love dogs. The Brigade has a group of dogs that come from the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and walk around the terminals with their handlers to calm nervous travellers. The animals, which are specifically selected for their temperaments around airports, wear vests bearing the words ‘Pet Me!’ so you can identify and approach them for some calming energy.
  • Passengers who have transit times of over four hours after flights from Bengaluru to San Francisco might like to consider travelling into the San Francisco and Peninsula Bay area. Public transport is an easy option – if you take the BART train from the airport to Montgomery Street Station, you can explore Chinatown, the historic heart of San Francisco and Northbeach, which has a range of galleries, restaurants and jazz clubs. Tickets for this excursion can be purchased at the airport train station.
  • For travellers with children, San Francisco International Airport has several activities to entertain little ones in between flights. There are play areas in T2 and T3 or you could visit the Aviation Museum and Library. These are free of charge and show the history of air transport and how commercial flight has developed over the years. For children (and adults) who are fascinated by the history of aviation, this is a good way to spend excess layover time.
