The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Frontier at $418 per person, $31 below the typical fare
- Catahoula Hotel New Orleans, $549 for 2 nights, free cancellation
- Overcast highs of 84–88°F, 16–26% chance of rain
The catch: The Frontier fare has one stop and takes 8h 39m to cover 925 miles, and late October is still hurricane season.
Worth it if you want a food-and-jazz weekend and don't mind a 6:00 AM start with a stop; skip it if you need a nonstop.
Worth it if you're fine with a stop: $1,385 for two, with the Frontier flights at $836 plus 2 nights at Catahoula Hotel New Orleans at $549, taxes and fees included. You leave Friday, Oct 23 and come home Sunday, Oct 25, 2026. It isn't a nonstop: the outbound flight has one stop and takes 8h 39m.

Why now
At $418 per person, the Frontier fare is $31 below the typical fare on this route, about 7% under, and it's the lowest fare we've seen on this route in 30 days. That comes to $836 for two in flights. Add 2 nights at Catahoula Hotel New Orleans for $549 and the trip is $1,385, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total. We'd set aside $520 for food and music over the two days, which brings the weekend to $1,905. The forecast for Oct 23–25 is overcast, with highs of 84–88°F and lows of 67–75°F, so it's warm enough for evening walks in the Quarter. These are the prices we found when we checked. Fares and rates move, so they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food long weekend of jazz clubs, Creole and Cajun cooking, old balconies and streetcar rides. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk, eat well and stay out late for live music. The pace is easy: a late breakfast, a long lunch and a later night. With 2 nights you'll pick a few highlights rather than try to see it all.

Where to stay in New Orleans
Our best-value pick is Catahoula Hotel New Orleans in Downtown New Orleans. It costs $549 for the 2 nights ($275 a night), has a 7.6 review score from 369 reviews and offers free cancellation. It's the hotel in the total. The top-rated choice is New Orleans Marriott Warehouse Arts District at $854 for the stay ($427 a night), with an 8.6 from 123 reviews, but it has no free cancellation. Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center is $564 for the stay ($282 a night), scores 8.3 from 1,365 reviews and has free cancellation. Those two are in the Central Business District / Warehouse District, with museums and restaurants a short walk from the French Quarter and its balconies and jazz clubs. All three are room only.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if a stop doesn't bother you. The fare is $418 per person, 7% under the typical $449, and the hotel in the total has free cancellation. The trade-off is one stop and 8h 39m of travel on the way out.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,385, taxes and fees included: $836 for two Frontier round trips plus $549 for 2 nights at Catahoula Hotel New Orleans. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are extra. With the $520 we'd budget for spending, it comes to $1,905.
What is the weather like?
The forecast for Oct 23–25 is overcast, with highs of 84–88°F, lows of 67–75°F and a 16–26% chance of rain each day. It's still hurricane season, so check again closer to the trip.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip from Cleveland Hopkins International (CLE) to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY), and you'll pay in US dollars.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for a sample. If you take the 6:00 AM flight, you land at 1:39 PM on Friday, which leaves time for Frenchmen Street that night and a full Saturday of the Quarter, the streetcar and the WWII Museum.
