Flights from San Francisco to Kona
Whether you’re looking to escape the cold, trade in San Francisco’s beautiful bays for Hawaii’s equally beautiful beaches or just want to get away from the city for a while, booking plane tickets from SFO to Kona is a great choice. With sunny weather and tropical climes nearly 365 days out of the year, Hawaii Island, more commonly referred to as the Big Island, Hawaii, is an ideal location to migrate to during San Francisco’s colder months. And who better to book your San Francisco to Kona flights than with Hawaii’s premier airline carrier, Hawaiian Airlines. Calling Hawaii its home, Hawaiian Airlines understands the value of showing aloha—an ever-giving, always gracious attitude—to its flyers, and your trip to Hawaii will begin once you step on to a Hawaiian Airlines flight.

What Should I Pack for my San Francisco to Kona Vacation?
If you’re traveling to San Francisco to the Big Island, Hawaii, you might not immediately assume to bring a jacket, but you absolutely should. Just because you’re taking a trip to the tropics doesn’t mean you won’t have to layer up, especially on the Big Island—where some of the star attractions, such as Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the ever-charming upcountry town of Waimea are located at high altitudes and sport colder weather. And be sure to bring your favorite reusable water bottle and flip flops with you when you fly to Hawaii, since you won’t want to be caught without either on your many, many beach adventures. Flights to Kona from SFO also feature a short layover on Oahu or Maui, so a good book or Kindle to pass the time is worth considering.
When is the Best Time to Fly from San Francisco to Kona?
With year round sunshine and pleasant weather, the best time to plan your airfare and travel to the Big Island
is really up to the visitor. If you’re looking for SFO to Kona flights on a budget, consider booking your roundtrip ticket during the island’s shoulder seasons—like fall and spring—when the price on airfare is lower and travel deals are more plentiful. Want to get away from the cold? Don’t think that the islands get much brisker during the winter months. You can have a day as nice and warm in December as it can get in June, and booking SFO to KOA as San Francisco temperatures drop into winter is a great way to escape to a nice, warm tropical beach.
What is the distance from San Francisco to Kona?
Stretching almost two-thirds of the western region of Hawaii Island, Kailua-Kona is perfect for a variety of visitors, from those who love to wander and find unmarked gems to beachbound travelers looking to get their toes in the sand.
