How to get the best deal on a Christchurch — San Francisco ticket

  • Keep in mind that UA limits the number of flights to 3 per week, so weekend tickets are usually more expensive than mid-week departures.
  • Check baggage allowances in advance: rules for transpacific flights from Christchurch may be stricter than for domestic flights within the USA.
