The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Fare at $492 per person, $134 below the typical fare
- La Quinta downtown scores 8.4, with breakfast and free cancellation
- Peak fall foliage on the Parkway, highs of 59–62°F
The catch: The 1-stop outbound leaves Friday at 5:23 PM and lands Saturday at 6:00 PM, and the return leaves Sunday at 7:00 AM.
Worth it if you can switch to the 8:58 AM Friday departure; skip this fare if you want two full days in Asheville.
Not worth it this week: the fare is low, but the flight schedule takes up most of the weekend. The trip comes to $1,385 for two, all in, for Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026: flights at $984 plus 2 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Downtown Asheville at $360 and its $41 property fee, with taxes and fees included. The flights are on B6 + G4 with 1 stop each way, so they're not nonstop, and they land Saturday at 6:00 PM and leave Sunday at 7:00 AM.

Why now
At $492 per person, the fare is $134 below the typical fare on this route, a 21% drop. It's also the lowest of the 12 offers we saw, which went as high as $596. The whole trip comes to $1,385 for two, all in: flights at $984 plus 2 nights at La Quinta at $360 and its $41 property fee. A checked bag, about $180 for two, and spending money aren't in that total. Late October is peak fall foliage on the Parkway, with typical highs of 59–62°F. The trouble is the schedule. This itinerary lands Saturday evening and leaves early Sunday, so you'd pay for two nights and get one evening. That's why we say not this week, unless an earlier flight works for you.
The kind of trip this is
This is a fall mountain weekend built around food, beer and scenery: the Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway, breweries and bluegrass. It suits a couple or two friends who'd rather take a slow pace, a scenic drive and a good dinner than stay out late. With this flight schedule, though, the trip shrinks to one evening and a dawn departure.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Not this week. The fare is $134 per person below the typical fare on this route, but the flight lands Saturday at 6:00 PM and the return leaves Sunday at 7:00 AM. That leaves you one evening in Asheville.

Is there a better flight time?
When we checked, another B6 + G4 option left Friday at 8:58 AM and landed at 11:04 PM that night for $493 per person. That's a dollar more per person, and you'd have all of Saturday in Asheville.
