San Francisco – Quebec City, Canada. $313 (Basic Economy) / $399 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes – The Flight Deal

Exciting fare to Quebec City!

The $399 ticket reflects the Regular Economy price, which includes advance seat selection and a standard-sized carry-on bag.

Alternatively, United Airlines is offering a $313 fare, but please note that this is a Basic Economy ticket. United’s Basic Economy does not permit advance seat assignments; instead, seats are assigned randomly at check-in. Furthermore, a normal-sized carry-on bag that cannot fit under the seat incurs a charge of $35 per leg, plus any applicable gate check fees, though this fee is waived for holders of a United co-branded credit card or those with United elite status.
