SFO bonus radar — AA Savannah $238 expires today

This is a same-day bonus issue. The June 12 radar published about 2.5 hours ago; since then, The Flight Deal posted two new American Airlines cash fares from SFO that weren't in the earlier issue. Both dropped today, June 11. One of them has a purchase deadline of today — read the Savannah entry first.

🔴 AA SFO↔Savannah $238 BE — book by end of today (June 11)

American Airlines is pricing SFO to Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) at $238 Basic Economy / $348 Regular Economy roundtrip including all taxes. 1

The Flight Deal flags the purchase deadline explicitly: must book by June 11 (today). No specific hour given; treat it as end of the business day Eastern Time and buy now rather than later.

Field	Detail
Route	SFO ↔ SAV (Savannah, GA) — via Charlotte (CLT)

Travel window	Mid-August through early November; Tue/Wed departures

Advance purchase	At least 7 days before departure

Fare classes	B (Basic Economy) / O (Regular Economy)
Total miles	5,004 roundtrip

AA booking screen showing $238.40 roundtrip SFO–CLT–SAV Sep 9–16, with Move to Main upsell at $348.40 — AA.com trip summary for the sample Sep 9–16 dates — $238.40 BE total, $348.40 to move to Main Cabin 1

Basic Economy restrictions: no advance seat selection, no changes or cancellations, no mileage accrual, last boarding group. If you want a seat assignment, checked or carry-on bag flexibility, or miles credit toward status, go with Regular Economy at $348.

Savannah is one of the cheaper long-haul domestic options out of SFO right now. At $238, this is slightly below the $250–280 band that's been the floor for SFO–Southeast fares in recent months. It's a Tuesday/Wednesday fare, so it works best for a mid-week trip in August–October — shoulder season in Savannah, which means lower hotel rates and fewer crowds than the spring peak. The 5,004-mile routing through Charlotte is longer than a direct would be, but AA has no SFO–SAV nonstop.

Book at aa.com. Again: purchase must be completed today, June 11.

🆕 AA SFO↔Hyannis (Cape Cod) $273 BE — no hard deadline yet

American Airlines is also showing SFO to Hyannis (HYA) — the regional airport serving Cape Cod, Massachusetts — at $273 Basic Economy / $383 Regular Economy roundtrip including taxes. 2

Field	Detail
Route	SFO ↔ HYA (Hyannis, MA) — via Philadelphia (PHL)
Airline	American Airlines
Price	$273 BE / $383 RE (roundtrip, taxes included)
Travel window	Mid-July through early September; Tue/Wed departures
Sample dates	July 9–14
Advance purchase	At least 7 days before departure
Book by	No explicit deadline — apply TFD's 2-day rule
Fare classes	B (Basic Economy) / O (Regular Economy)
Total miles	5,602 roundtrip

TFD posted this today but gave no purchase expiration. The Flight Deal's standard guidance is that fares more than two days old are likely dead — meaning if you're reading this on June 13 or later, verify before clicking through. If you're reading this on June 11 or June 12, it's worth checking.

Important: HYA is a small regional airport served by Cape Air turboprops as well as the PHL connection. Service during the mid-July to early-September window is peak summer season in Cape Cod, so hotel and accommodation rates in the area will be at their annual high. At $273, the flight is roughly half the typical summer fare from SFO to this region; the economics work if you're staying somewhere with existing lodging (family, friends, rental already booked).

Regular Economy at $383 includes a full-size carry-on bag and advance seat selection — relevant given the PHL connecting airport, where tight connections can mean a last-minute seat scramble.

Book at aa.com.
