Why now
At $322 per person round trip, or $644 for two, this fare is $512 below the typical fare on this route. That's 61% under the $834 median of our earlier checks, and the fare carries a Lowest in 30 days badge. We saw 12 offers, ranging from $322 to $442. All prices include taxes and fees as found when we checked, and they can change. Late November is easy weather for this city: typical highs of 64–71°F, lows near 57°F, and three of the five days in the normals are clear. That's good for walking the French Quarter, riding the streetcar and taking your time over dinner. Thursday to Monday covers a full weekend, so two weekdays off gets you four nights of jazz, gumbo and museums. One heads-up: November is still hurricane season.
The kind of trip this is
This is a food-and-music city trip. You'll have beignets in the morning, a museum or streetcar ride in the afternoon and live jazz after dark. It suits couples and groups of friends who like to eat well and walk a lot. The pace is relaxed and you don't need much of a plan: pick a neighborhood, wander, and leave room for a late night or two.
