San Francisco – Atlanta (and vice versa). $219 (Basic Economy) / $319 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes – The Flight Deal

Great fare alert: Atlanta bound!

According to Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, you can find tickets priced at $319 (Regular Economy). If you opt for United, those same dates may be available for $219 (Basic Economy) and $319 (Regular Economy).

The $319 fare includes advance seat assignment and a standard-sized carry-on.

United’s $219 fare is a Basic Economy option, which does not allow for advance seat assignments. Instead, your seat will be randomly assigned at check-in. Additionally, a standard-sized carry-on that doesn’t fit under the seat incurs a $35 fee each way, plus any applicable gate check fees. This fee can be waived if you possess a United co-branded credit card or hold United elite status.
