KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from San Francisco to Beirut

  • Choose an airline with comfort amenities for your long-haul flight from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY). Apart from in-flight entertainment, Turkish Airlines will offer you headphones, earplugs, sleep masks, toothpaste, toothbrush, lip bum, socks, and a light blanket in an economy-class cabin. Upgrade to business class if you want headphones with noise-canceling capabilities.
  • When flying long distances like SFO-BEY, you want to avoid aircraft with low humidity levels as they can quickly cause dehydration. Qatar Airways aircraft models like the Airbus A350 make long-haul travel more comfortable because the cabin is designed to retail more moisture compared to other airplanes. Consequently, you will feel less tired when you arrive at BEY. Additionally, the air is cleaned every few minutes with hospital-grade HEPA filters.
  • Enjoy VIP treatment with a Lufthansa business class ticket. Since the airline stops at Frankfurt Airport (FRA), you will find staff waiting to receive you at Lufthansa Welcome Lounge, which is zoned for the ultimate comfort of travelers. The seating area has restaurant-style tables and chairs and fully catered buffets, while the working zone offers privacy stalls, charging sockets, and printers.
  • If you care about the planet, travel in new-generation planes with modern cabins and a low fuel consumption rate. Air France has many eco-friendly elements that draw praise, including sustainable menus like French cuisine. The World Travel Awards have ranked Air France as Europe's best airline for long-haul economy flights for three consecutive years.
  • If you plan to fly in the economy cabin but don't want to pay for the standard ticket, choose KLM's Flex ticket, which allows you to change or cancel your SFO-BEY flight without a fee. If you decide to upgrade your flight class, you only have to pay the fare difference; any cancellation does not result in a cancellation fee.

Everything was great except food . It as okay not good not bad

Flight attendant served beverage to everyone during meal service and forgot about me. Had to call her several times until she realized it. Not a good service for a business class flight

This time, I traveled in the economy, and it was surprisingly better than the eco-premium (food, comfort, and crew were noticeably worse in premium!)

Edelweiss is now Nickle&dimming, not even a complimentary wine on the intercontinental flight. Sitting space is the smallest I have ever seen.

I have no complaints. The crew was attentive, pleasant and heloful

Flight was cancelled due to technical problems with the aircraft. It would be nice if SWISS would invest in new aircraft; that would for sure minimize the technical issues with (old) aircrafts.

Excellent Airline. Food, crew and comfort was perfect. Entertainment screens were old. Didn’t like them.

The seats had no space at all beyond the knees. The seat in-front literally reclined on your face, very uncomfortable plane. Was nothing like the normal SWISS experience. The food was okay but could be better.

It was the first time in my life (I’m 54) that I’ve had to pay for drinks on an international flight. Very disappointing. Also, the baggage fees were very steep. I’d rather pay for everything in the price of the ticket than be repeatedly charged for add-ons.

Flight was very full and we had to checkin our carry on. Stuff however promised us that our luggage will be the first one to come out and it did

Did not like anything. Seats were crammed, leg space was minimal and food was terrible. This was the first time traveling overseas in American Airlines and was the worst experience ever. Have learned a lesson to never travel in American Airlines.

Delayed my flights and no communication. We end up spending 6 hrs in Doha. No food or any concern from the airline. Terrible

Check in desk people constrained by fear. Obvious typo on Uganda visa, even though approved, caused loss of flight. Something is definitely wrong with this system.

Between Air India and Qatar my luggage was lost for three days. I eventually found my own luggage location using the Apple Air Tag. Air India used a paper form to report my lost luggage. I could never get past getting past luggage personnel with my report number before they would hang up on me. Only after them specifically telling Air India at Chandigarh airport where my luggage was located which was right under their noses did they react. After three days I finally received my luggage. The Air India luggage folks didn’t seem proactive in finding the luggage’s rightful owner.

Besides the flight cancellation, everything else was prefect. Kudos to Malaysian Airlines.

Operated by American Airlines. Very chaotic and the crew was bit rough responding any enquiries. Restricted leg space.. Qatar would have been better

Qatar airways from Doha to guangzhau was excellent big bird Boeing 777 more room and smoothly flight, I Love it

It was good no problems made it on time for the next flight overseas!

The made us waiting and held our passports and boarding pass making us miss our flights

Not impressed. Only allowed one carry on on such a long flight.

Check in was not available online. It was super long line to check in

I did not have a good experience from the first point of contact to the check in person to boarding and the comfort of the seats. I would not travel on Turkish again. I will let my family and friends know about my experience which was not a pleasant one.

Food quality and the overall service of the staff and significantly decreased. The flight was delayed at the Istanbul airport and the passengers were kept onboard for more than 3 hours. The staff didn’t kept the passengers informed and everyone was upset.

Cross Atlantic flight terrible aircraft TK10 on the way back : Old configuration tacky . The boarding in Istanbul at the gate fly TK686 was a mess unorganized , very rude ground staff . Overall never again

The food served was frozen salad and hummus. The hot meal was fine. Crew was doing bare minimum

I enjoy flying with Turkish Airlines and such good hospitality among the crew memebers

Good food and wine. Some of the Guy who are in charge to board Passengers on the plane couldn’t use the word “Please” to direct them drop their hand luggage to be loaded on Plane bcos he said the inside storage may not have enough room for all.

Turkish Airlines apparently no longer gives you 2 checked bags allowance on international flights, so that pleasure cost me $165 for my second suitcase at the airport. On top of that, they damaged that very suitcase, which happens to be a designer one and part of a set - ripped one of the four wheels right off.

Pretty standard for long haul international flying. Food was fine, tv/movie selection was great, wifi did not work at all, crew was pleasant enough.

Very poor service. Not friendly and special food ordered but not served

Problem with operation of on board entertainment computer. Failed about 1 /2 hour into the flight. Rebooting failed to restore.

Hated charging my devices. The location of the outlet was inconvenient. And no USB connection. So outdated.

I was very good. Service was great. Seating selection was not too good.

The mid flight snack could have been more substantial than tiny bag of pretzels.

Flight took off little late and landed back at YVR after an hour without informing a reason to the passengers. Also, second time also got late but an hour to take off. Therefore, I had to change my plans during due to delay in landing to SFO roughly about 6 to 7 hours.

. Crew was professional and friendly. Food could have been hotter

Our flight AC 567 was delayed by almost 6 hrs due to mechanical falure

Terrible. They cancelled our flight the night before. Please give me a call to discuss.

Lines at gate boarding is messy. It spills into traffic which causes other travelers to snake around the boarding passengers. Need better traffic control.

Very pleasant crew! Good entertainment options. Water wasn’t working in the bathrooms, but they were able to fix it. Just had to stand with sticky soap hands for 20min….

Good but entertainment system was not easy and very buggy

They gave us free up grade to a roomier seat.

The flight was cold, no enough blanket and the crew said that they can’t change it. I got very sick in the flight . Most of the kids were coughing.

Plane was delayed about an hour but nice crew and service

Smooth flight. Safe airline. Professional crew. Glitchy entertainment touch screen. So-so food. So-so seat padding.

It wasn't clear that there will be additional charge for checked in baggage. Very, very disappointed making me pay extra $75. Food was not tasty and not healthy. Lufthansa used to be good, not any more. Unfortunately has gone down big time and continues to go down.

This was not a UA flight. This was Lufthansa. Good experience overall

Okay, the flight was over an hour late leaving LAX! I barely made my connecting flight! Very stressful experience! Lufthansa 747 biz class needs a serious upgrade to its seating! The food was good, but the staff was mostly very cold but did a good job!

Food was tasteless, service pretty bad (no water offered after dinner throughout the night); seats were narrow and tight, with very little legroom.

Poor, we had 1 hour to grab our checked luggage, go through customs, recheck bags and run across terminals to make our United flight. Poorly planned connections.
