Cheap flights from Portland (PDX) to San Francisco (SJC)

San Francisco, California, is one of the most cosmopolitan and popular cities on the West Coast. Morning fog rising off San Francisco Bay only adds to the allure of this major vacation destination. Ride the famous cable car from downtown to Fishermen's Wharf, to enjoy a popular activity, such as a trip to the notorious Alcatraz Prison. Travelers can wander along the pier where they’ll be greeted by the fragrance of fresh-baked sourdough bread mingling with the salty sea air.
