$532.52 round trip  Sat Feb 11 – Sun Feb 19

There are lower priced tickets available on these same dates for $514 round trip by flying United SFO to Chicago ORD or Newark EWR. From experience, I choose to fly directly to Europe from California in winter. If I am going to be snowed in some place for the night and miss a flight, I’d rather be stuck in Copenhagen than Chicago or Newark.

This is one of the best winter travel deals from San Francisco to Europe seen in the past month.
