The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Frontier fare $418 per person, $153 below the typical fare
- Catahoula Hotel New Orleans downtown, free cancellation, $275 a night
- Highs 84–88°F with a 16% to 26% chance of rain
The catch: The Frontier flight makes one stop and takes 9h 23m on the way out, and late October is still hurricane season.
Worth it if you'll trade a long travel day for a $418 fare; skip it if you want the 3h 37m JetBlue nonstop.
Worth it if you can handle a stop: $1,385 for two covers the Frontier flights at $836 plus 2 nights at Catahoula Hotel New Orleans at $549, with taxes and fees included. You leave Friday, Oct 23 at 11:47 AM, make one stop and land at 8:10 PM, then come home Sunday, Oct 25. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
The Frontier fare is $418 per person, $153 below the typical fare on this route, and it carries the Lowest in 30 days badge. Across the 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $418 to $717. For two, that's $836 in flights. Add 2 nights at Catahoula Hotel New Orleans and the weekend comes to $1,385, all in. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money come on top. The forecast for Oct 23–25 shows highs of 84°F to 88°F, overcast skies and a 16% to 26% chance of rain. That's warm enough for late nights outdoors in the French Quarter. October is still hurricane season, so the hotel's free cancellation is worth having. It's a short getaway built around food, jazz and walking the old streets. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a food-and-music city weekend at an easy pace: beignets in the morning, a museum or a streetcar ride in the afternoon and jazz at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk, eat well and stay out late. Skip it if you need a beach or a pool. With 2 nights, plan around one or two big things a day and leave room to wander.
