2018 is picking up steam, and this year’s place to visit, at least according to the New York Times, is New Orleans.

The Big Easy topped the publication’s list of 52 desirable destinations, just in time of the city’s tricentennial celebration. If you haven’t planned your pilgrimage, it’s not too late, but today’s deals won’t last forever.

Whether you're seeking a summer getaway or the cheapest upcoming fares, consider these nonstop flights between San Francisco International Airport and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport that we pulled from travel site Skyscanner.
