Flight Research Request: SFO to SEA Family Travel
I need comprehensive flight options for a family of 3 (2 adults + 1 infant) traveling from San Francisco (SFO) to Seattle (SEA).
Travel Details:
- Departure: Friday, July 18, 2025
- Return: Monday, July 21, 2025
- Departure time constraint: Only flights leaving between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM (both outbound and return)
- Airlines: Research ALL airlines, but MUST include comprehensive coverage of Delta and Alaska Airlines options
- Passengers: 2 adults + 1 infant (lap infant, under 2 years old)
Seating/Fare Options to Research:
- Economy Plus Option: 3 seats in economy class that includes seat selection and checked baggage (NOT basic economy - needs to be the tier that includes these amenities)
- Business Class Option: 2 business class seats (infant as lap child)
Research Methodology:
- Use Google Flights ONLY to identify which airlines operate this route and flight times
- For actual pricing and fare details, go directly to each airline's website
- This is critical because Google Flights cannot properly filter out basic economy fares that don't include seat selection
- Verify fare class names and inclusions on each airline's direct booking site
Required Information for Each Option:
- Total cost (including all taxes and fees)
- Exact departure and arrival times for both outbound and return flights
- Aircraft type
- Seat availability status
- Baggage allowance details
- Cancellation/change policies
- Any infant-specific policies or fees
- Specific fare class name (e.g., "Main Cabin" vs "Basic Economy")
Presentation Format:
- Rank options by total price (lowest to highest)
- Show top 3-5 best options for each seating category
- Include direct flights if available, or shortest connection times if not
- Note any significant price differences between airlines
- Flag any deals, promotions, or fare sales currently active
- Ensure Delta and Alaska options are thoroughly represented in results
Priority: Price is the primary concern, followed by convenient departure times within the specified window. Please provide actual bookable fares from airline websites, not Google Flights estimates.
