Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from San Francisco Airport to Knoxville Airport last minute?
Booking your journey from San Francisco Intl. Airport (SFO) to Knoxville Airport at the last minute could help you save if you hit the jackpot and find an awesome deal. However, fares generally don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you hold out, flights could also be sold out or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. It's worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
What airports do you fly into for Knoxville from San Francisco?
McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS), Gatlinburg, TN (GKT-Gatlinburg - Pigeon Forge) and Morristown, TN (MOR-Moore-Murrell) are your options when jetting from San Francisco to Knoxville. Around 19 kilometers south of the center of Knoxville, McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) is the city's principal entry point. Think about factors such as flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before deciding on an airport.
