That being said if you just wanna take a vacation, look into the GIG flights. Sure the Brazilian visa isn't free, but the prices with the fuel dumps from YFC-GIG were ridiculous. I can't remember the exact cost but it was insanely low. I know that's not what your post was about, but I also assume you know SFO is super expensive as a city.

Not really-it's no more expensive than NYC/London/Paris/HK.
As well, I'm not sure if OP wants to/is capable of find(ing) a 3x to make such a fuel dump work...
