San Francisco – Atlanta (and vice versa). $185 (Basic Economy) / $285 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes – The Flight Deal

Exciting flight deals to/from Atlanta!

Using Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, you can find fares starting at $285 for Regular Economy. If you choose those same travel dates with United, the price may drop to $185 for Basic Economy and remain at $285 for Regular Economy.

For $285, you’ll get Regular Economy fare, which includes advance seat assignments and the option for a standard carry-on bag.

United’s $185 fare is Basic Economy, which does not permit advance seat assignments. Instead, your seat will be randomly assigned at check-in. If you bring a normal-size carry-on that doesn’t fit underneath the seat, you’ll incur a $35 fee per leg + any applicable gate check fees (this fee is waived if you hold a United co-branded credit card or have United elite status).
