Alaska Airlines Flights from San Francisco to Guadalajara

Alaska Airlines on this route

San Francisco is a Alaska Airlines hub, so Alaska Airlines typically offers several daily departures on SFO–GDL, with nonstop service where demand supports it and connections through its other hubs otherwise. The nonstop flight time is about 3h 45m.

Fare classes available: Saver, Main, Premium Class, First Class. No change fees on Main and First fares; fare difference applies.

The lowest one-way fare we have on record for this route is $540 on Alaska. Fares like that usually show up on off-peak days and for travel booked a few weeks out; an agent can check whether a similar fare is available for your dates.

Because United Airlines treats San Francisco as a hub, this pairing tends to have frequent departures throughout the day.

At 1,643 miles and about 3h 45m nonstop, this is a long domestic sector where the choice of airline matters for comfort: seat pitch, Wi-Fi, and a meal option vary more than the fare does. Overnight and first-departure flights are usually cheapest.

When to fly

For long-haul travel, mid-January to March and the shoulder months of October and November usually bring the lowest fares; June through August and the December holidays cost the most.

On this specific route our fare history shows October as the cheapest month and December as the most expensive, a spread of $209 between the two.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures are usually the cheapest days on long-haul routes; Friday and Sunday are the most expensive. Early-morning and late-evening flights are often priced below the midday departures.

For international travel, booking two to five months ahead usually gets the best fares; inside three weeks, prices rise sharply. Peak-season travel in summer and over the December holidays should be booked as early as possible.
