Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from San Francisco to Valencia.

What is the typical flight duration from San Francisco to Valencia?

San Francisco to Valencia is about 5,960 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from San Francisco to Valencia?

There are no direct flights from San Francisco to Valencia; the route requires a connection. The shortest connecting routing is on United Airlines via Zurich, at 14 hours 45 minutes total — a 655-minute leg to Zurich, a 100-minute layover, and a 130-minute leg on Swiss International Air Lines to Valencia. Other common one-stop options include Air France via Paris, KLM via Amsterdam, and British Airways via London.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Valencia?

Valencia Airport (VLC) is about 8 km west of the city center, and the fastest way into town is a taxi, taking 15–20 minutes for roughly €20–30, with ride-share services like Uber, Bolt, and Cabify also available in a similar price range. The metro (Lines 3 and 5) is the most-used and best-value option, reaching the city center in about 20 minutes for €4.90, while the Aerobus shuttle offers a direct ride for €3.90 in about 25 minutes. For budget travelers, EMT bus line 150 costs just €1.45 (or €2.80 on some services) but takes 30–45 minutes due to frequent stops. Car rental desks from Avis, Enterprise, Europcar, and Hertz are available at the airport, and private pre-booked transfers start around €34 for a door-to-door ride.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from San Francisco to Valencia?

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from San Francisco to Valencia, but connecting itineraries with an overnight long leg do operate. British Airways runs an overnight leg SFO to London Heathrow departing at 16:35 and arriving at 11:00 (the next morning), then connecting onward; TAP Air Portugal flies an overnight SFO to Lisbon leg departing 16:30 arriving 11:45, and Air France runs an overnight SFO to Paris CDG leg departing 15:05 arriving 10:55.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from San Francisco to Valencia?

There is no nonstop service from San Francisco to Valencia. The most common connecting routings are via Zurich on United (connecting to Swiss), Paris on Air France, Amsterdam on KLM, and London on British Airways, with the Zurich routing being the fastest at 14h 45m. Lufthansa also connects via Frankfurt and Munich, while Turkish Airlines goes through Istanbul and TAP Air Portugal through Lisbon. Frequencies vary from one to seven daily connections depending on the routing, with British Airways via London and Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich having the most frequent service.

Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Valencia?

Valencia has one main airport, Valencia Airport, about 8 km west of the city centre. It serves both domestic and European flights and is convenient for the City of Arts and Sciences and the old town.

How do I get to San Francisco Intl Airport from the city center?

From downtown San Francisco to SFO, BART rapid rail is the fastest and most popular public transit option, taking about 30 minutes and running directly from the city center to the airport's International Terminal. Shared shuttle vans, taxis, and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft provide door-to-door convenience, with ride-share pickups at the Domestic Garage Level 5 and taxis at the arrivals islands. Driving yourself is also possible, with long-term and short-term parking garages adjacent to the terminals, though BART remains the most cost-effective choice for solo travelers.

Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Valencia airport?

There are no hotels directly connected to Valencia Airport, but several nearby hotels are within easy reach: Air Hotel Aviación is 0.3 km away, ibis Budget Valencia Aeropuerto is 0.5 km away and within walking distance of the terminal, and Port Azafata Valencia is 0.6 km away with an airport shuttle. Holiday Inn Express Valencia – Bonaire and ibis Valencia Bonaire Aeropuerto are each about 2.6 km from the airport. Sleeping inside the terminal is not well suited for overnight stays, as seating is mostly metal with armrests and security checks can disrupt rest.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from San Francisco to Valencia?

There is no nonstop service from San Francisco to Valencia, so flights connect through European hubs. Lufthansa operates the most connecting flights, using Boeing 747-8 aircraft via Frankfurt and Airbus A350-900 via Munich, with Airbus A321 aircraft on the short leg to Valencia. British Airways connects through London Heathrow on Airbus A380-800 and Airbus A380 family aircraft, with Airbus A320 or A319 for the final segment, while Swiss uses Boeing 777-300ER via Zurich and United uses Boeing 787-9 via Zurich.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from San Francisco to Valencia?

There is no nonstop service from San Francisco to Valencia, so the route is flown via one-stop connections. The carriers currently scheduled on this route span all three major alliances: United, Swiss, Turkish, TAP Air Portugal, and Lufthansa (Star Alliance); Air France and KLM (SkyTeam); and British Airways (oneworld). Portugália, which operates the TAP connection from Lisbon, and AirBaltic are not themselves alliance members.
