United announces new non-stop flights from San Francisco to New Delhi, Melbourne, and Toronto

December 12, 2018Tagged san francisco, Travel, travel news, United AirlinesLeave a comment

This morning, United announced new service from San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The new flights are:

San Francisco to New Delhi, India (flight times are difficult though, with arrival in New Delhi at 12:45am and the return leaving New Delhi at 4am).
San Francisco to Melbourne, Australia
San Francisco to Toronto, Canada

United also announced additional flights and/or year-round service for their Seoul, Auckland, Tahiti, and Amsterdam routes.

United hypes this big announcement and I was hoping for direct flights to Guam, South America, and Africa, as Toronto is already well-serviced by Air Canada, there are currently direct flights between LAX and Melbourne, and there’s already non-stop service from SFO to Mumbai.

That said, will likely try out at least one of these new routes! Will you?

United offering limited nonstop service between SFO and Barcelona

October 25, 2018Tagged barcelona, flight deals, san francisco, travel news, united1 Comment

As a San Francisco-based travel blogger, I’m always on the lookout for new nonstop flights leaving from the Bay Area.

So it was an awesome surprise when this morning, I saw that United will be offering special nonstop service between SFO and Barcelona (airport code: BCN) in February 2019. United will be offering the following flights:

February 23 – San Francisco 1:45 p.m. Barcelona 10:25 a.m.+1
February 24 – Barcelona 12:50 p.m. San Francisco 4:20 p.m.
February 27 – San Francisco 1:45 p.m. Barcelona 10:25 a.m. +1
February 28 – Barcelona 12:45 p.m. San Francisco 4:15 p.m.

These flights are being offered as a result of Barcelona hosting the 2019 Mobile World Congress, and will help the Silicon Valley crowd get to/from the event.

Tickets aren’t cheap (I just did a search and it was $2,589 on United) and there is no saver award availability, meaning you’d be paying at least 70,000 miles. If you are cost-sensitive, Level by Iberia offers the best deals to Barcelona from San Francisco (with round-trip, direct flights as low as $308), but this is still a pretty cool offer from United.

SFO to name terminal after Harvey Milk

April 16, 2018April 16, 2018Tagged airports, lgbt travel, san francisco, travel news, wanderlustLeave a comment

San Francisco’s interim mayor, Mark Farrell, signed a bill into law today to officially name the new Terminal 1 at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) after former mayor and gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

According to SFGate, the Harvey Milk Terminal will not be open for a few years — until at least summer of 2019 — as SFO undergoes a $2.4 billion rebuild.

I’m excited for this change and look forward to checking out the new terminal when construction is completed!
