Flying from Harry Reid International
Harry Reid International sits a five-minute drive from the south end of the Las Vegas Strip — closer to its city centre than virtually any other major US airport. The terminals don't connect to rail; airport shuttles, taxis and rideshare handle the bulk of arriving traffic. Southwest is the largest carrier with its biggest non-base operation here, and Spirit, Frontier and Allegiant make Las Vegas one of the cheapest US fly-in destinations from anywhere in the country.
Arriving in San Francisco
San Francisco International sits 13 miles south of the city, with BART running directly from the international terminal station to Powell Street in 30 minutes for $10. Morning summer fog (May–August) routinely causes ground delays; book afternoon departures or mid-day arrivals during that window. Fares from US East Coast peak around tech-conference weeks (Apple WWDC in June, Salesforce Dreamforce in September) and are cheapest in February.
