Fares!
Folks,
Looking to go to San Francisco in either June or August.
June with BA is coming out around £650, with August at around £1200.
Question is, is this normal seasonal variation, or is June cheaper because we are closer and at the "seat filling" point? In which case, is August likely to come down?
Any help appreciated!

Apart from peak school holiday time, the 21st August is attracting a lot of people as the gods have decided to have an eclipse right across the USA in peak holiday time. I was going to go but the fares are too ridiculous. Total Solar Eclipse 2017 - Path Through the United States

SFO from London via Dub coming in at £950 in mid-August if you are flexible with dates. From Manchester at £850. And you pre-clear in Dublin!
Possibly worth a look?

Yep, had definitely thought of DUB, but for the June dates it was actually more expensive than BA.
It's a strange one in that June is a business trip that I was hoping to take the family on, but the alternative was for us all to go again later...

Have you looked at tickets starting in DUB?
Direct DUB-SFO with Aer Lingus 9-15 Aug £831, WOW Air via Keflavik same dates £481.
Obviously you need to factor in cost of getting to/from DUB and the cost of an overnight hotel dpending on your risk appetite.
For June you can go Aer Lingus/Virgin Premium Economy via MAN on 6-13 June for £861, £464 if you go economy.
