Why now
At $192 per person round trip ($384 for two), this fare is $91 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 32% gap. Across the 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $192 to $283 per person. All prices include taxes and fees as we found them, and they can change at any time. Mid-November comes just before Miami's peak season, which runs December to March and brings the highest hotel rates. That's why rooms here still start at $144 a night. Normal highs are 80–82°F with lows near 68°F, which is beach weather, but the normals do show drizzle and overcast days. One heads-up: hurricane season runs June to November. Our sample budget for two is $2,101 total: $384 for flights, $677 for citizenM Miami South Beach and $1,040 for spending, or $130 a day per person.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-city getaway. You get sand on South Beach, Art Deco streets, Cuban food in Little Havana and nightlife that goes until sunrise. It works best for a couple or a pair of friends who don't mind a long trip there and a very early flight home. Plan an easy pace: a morning on the beach, an afternoon of food or murals, and a late night out.

Good to know
- Passport: no passport needed for travellers from the United States: a government photo ID is enough for Miami.
- Currency: US dollar (USD).
- You don't need a passport. Miami uses the US dollar, and there's no time difference from Columbus.
- The outbound trip takes 31h 54m with 2 stops. It leaves CMH at 4:21 PM on Friday, Nov 13 and lands at MIA at 10:29 AM on Saturday, Nov 14.
- The return leaves at 5:10 AM on Tuesday, Nov 17 and lands at 6:56 PM.
- The hotel prices cover 4 nights from Nov 13, but this fare lands the morning of Nov 14, so you'd pay for a night you spend traveling.
- All three hotels are room only, with free cancellation. Hurricane season runs June to November.
