How to find dates…it depends.
1) Either on the search link above, if you have specific dates in mind, on flightscout: https://flightscout.co/au/cheap-flights/anywhere-to-san-fran… – seems to sometimes be a dollar or two cheaper than the advertised FS price though once you get to skyscanner from them.
2) If on flightscout, choose departure city and see available cheap dates.
2.5 – double check the dates you want on http://bookings.beatthatflight.com.au/ in case it’s cheaper.
