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:

  1. 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)
  2. 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.
