Lie-flat across the Atlantic or the Pacific into the Bay Area’s global gateway.
San Francisco International (SFO) is United’s Pacific gateway hub. Star Alliance dominates: United’s Polaris flights and Lufthansa’s Frankfurt and Munich nonstops feed the hub, while British Airways and Virgin Atlantic fly from London-Heathrow, KLM from Amsterdam and Air France from Paris.
Much of the business class demand for SFO comes from Europe — and that competition works in your favor. Three carriers on London alone, plus KLM’s Amsterdam nonstop and two Lufthansa gateways, keep fares moving; a concierge watching all of them can time the drop.
