Why now
At $407 per person round trip ($814 for two), this fare is $62 below the typical fare on this route. That's 13% under the $469 median of our earlier checks. It also has the Lowest in 30 days badge, and across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $407 to $663 per person. Late October is good weather for a city weekend: the forecast shows highs of 62–66°F, lows of 45–50°F and rain chances from 9% to 22%, with some drizzle on Sunday. That's easy walking weather for Lower Broadway and Centennial Park. Here's the heads-up: Nashville is only 251 miles away, but this fare leaves at 9:06 PM Friday and lands at 8:53 AM Saturday after one stop. Prices are all-in as we found them, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around live music, food and nightlife. It suits friends on a group trip, couples who like a bar with a band, and anyone curious about country music history. Expect late nights and slow mornings: honky-tonks from noon, hot chicken for lunch, a show at night. Since you land Saturday morning, plan on one full day and an easy Sunday.
