Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the capital’s main international gateway and typically serves as a premium hub, with Etihad Airways and several full-service carriers operating long- and short-haul flights. Budget and regional airlines also use the airport, so fares can range from competitive to premium depending on carrier and season. AUH sits about 30–40 km east of Abu Dhabi city center; drive times are usually 25–45 minutes by taxi or rideshare, depending on traffic, with fares commonly in a moderate range. Public buses connect the airport to central Abu Dhabi and neighboring emirates in roughly 45–60 minutes for a lower cost. Pros: modern terminals, good lounge and transfer facilities; cons: distance from downtown can add time and taxi costs compared with closer alternatives.

Fly nonstop from Abu Dhabi to San Francisco for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge the UAE and California—arrive sooner and skip the hassle of layovers. While connecting routes can sometimes be cheaper, choosing a direct flight saves valuable time and offers a more relaxed, comfortable journey across time zones.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) serves as the Bay Area’s primary international and domestic gateway, functioning as a major hub for full-service carriers and a destination for some low-cost airlines. Flights here are often perceived as mid- to higher-priced compared with nearby secondary airports, reflecting its scale and range of services. The airport sits about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco; public options include the BART rail connection (roughly 30–45 minutes, fares typically in the low-to-mid single digits) and airport shuttles or taxis (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary more). SFO offers extensive lounges, dining and shopping, which can be convenient for long layovers, though peak-hour road access and parking can be busy. For lower fares or simpler domestic trips, travelers sometimes compare routes through smaller Bay Area airports.
