While it might be known as the capital of Silicon Valley, you’ll find much more to San Jose than business and technology. From arts and culture, to an exciting burgeoning foodie scene, it makes a great holiday or stopover spot.
So whether you’re booking a California holiday or buying flights to San Jose, we can help from planning your trip, to getting you safely to your destination. Our cabin crew are renowned for their expert service and when you book a flight to San Jose with us, you can be sure of a comfortable and pleasurable flight experience.
San Jose is increasingly popular with tourists. Unsurprisingly, summer is the most popular time, when the average temperatures can reach up to 24°C (75°F) but this is a popular spot all year round, especially with the creative and business crowds. The months of June, July and August are particularly busy times for visitors to San Jose, so fares can be higher during that period. To find our cheapest flights to San Jose, use our lowest fare finder.
From London Heathrow (LHR) to San Jose (SJC) you can expect a flight time of around ten and a half hours.
San Jose International Airport is situated less than five kilometres north of downtown San Jose and has access to the highway and Freeways 101 and 880. Car hire is a great idea if you’re planning to explore outside the city, as well as for trips in town.
Taxis are easily available outside the terminal building and cost a minimum of $15 for the trip to downtown San Jose, and $3 per mile after that. Don’t forget there’s a $1.50 airport tax on cab fares.
Many hotels offer courtesy shuttle buses to and from the airport too, so check with your hotel. Or take the Airbus if you are transferring to San Francisco Airport. Alternatively there are plenty of shuttle buses that you can pre-book to take you to your location of choice.
Why not book your airport transfers when you book your San Jose holiday or flights with us? Simply, choose the best option for you on the booking pages.
