Recommendation

For a balance of time efficiency and affordability, I recommend taking a flight to San Francisco, California, as it will save you considerable travel time compared to road trips or combined train and bus options. Once you arrive at the airport, rent a car or take a bus to Antioch, which is about 40 miles away. Keep an eye on flight deals and book early if you can.
