The verdict

Our verdict

Worth it, if

  • Fare is $94 per person below the typical fare on this route
  • Camelot Beach Suites scores 9.1 from 728 reviews, free cancellation
  • Typical highs 77–80°F and lows near 64°F for these dates

The catch: The Frontier fare has one stop and takes 26h 24m, landing Saturday at 9:27 PM, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.

Worth it if you'll switch to the Breeze nonstop or don't mind losing Saturday to travel; skip it if every hour of a short weekend counts.

Worth it if you can live with a long trip down: $933 for two, all in, is the Frontier fare at $556 plus 2 nights at Camelot Beach Suites at $339, taxes and fees included, with checked bags and spending money not in it. The trip leaves Friday, Oct 30 and comes back Sunday, Nov 1, 2026, and the Frontier flight is not nonstop: one stop and 26h 24m, landing Saturday at 9:27 PM.

Why now

The Frontier fare is $278 per person, $94 below the typical fare on this route, a 25% gap, and it's the lowest we've seen in 30 days. Across 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $278 to $391 per person. Typical highs are 77–80°F with lows near 64°F this time of year, so it's beach weather, and the spring break crowds are a March thing. The low fare costs you time: one stop and 26h 24m, which on a 2-night weekend means you land Saturday night. If that rules it out, the Breeze nonstop is $363 per person, 3h 25m, leaving 7:00 AM Friday and landing 10:25 AM, and that's still under the typical $372. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change before you book.

The kind of trip this is

A short Gulf beach weekend: calm water, sugar-white sand, a sunset at Pier 60 and a grouper sandwich, with the Dalí Museum in Downtown St. Petersburg if an afternoon turns gray. It suits a couple who wants an easy, slow pace and a beach base more than a big night out. With 2 nights and a long flight down on the low fare, plan light and keep the days simple.

Questions readers ask

Is it worth it?

Worth it if the long trip down doesn't bother you. The fare is $278 per person, 25% under the typical $372, and the hotel scores 9.1. But the Frontier flight has one stop and takes 26h 24m, so on 2 nights you'd arrive Saturday at 9:27 PM.

How much is the whole trip for two?

$933 for two, all in: $556 for the Frontier flights and $339 for 2 nights at Camelot Beach Suites, taxes and fees included. A checked bag runs about $240 for two and isn't in that number, and neither is spending money.

Is there a nonstop?

Yes. When we checked, Breeze had a nonstop at $363 per person, $726 for two in flights, leaving 7:00 AM Friday and landing 10:25 AM after 3h 25m. That's still below the typical fare of $372 per person.

What's the weather like?

Typical highs are 77–80°F with lows near 64°F this time of year. These are seasonal normals rather than a forecast, so pack for a warm beach weekend with a light layer for evenings.

Do I need a passport?

No. It's a domestic trip, the currency is the US dollar and there's no time difference from Hartford.

Is 2 nights enough?

On the Breeze nonstop, yes, for a beach day, a Pier 60 sunset and the Dalí Museum. On the Frontier fare you land Saturday at 9:27 PM, which leaves very little of the weekend.
