The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Outbound takes 68h 8m with 2 stops, landing Sunday, Nov 15
- $301 per person, $107 below the highest fare we saw
- Typical highs of 78–79°F, with drizzle in the normals
The catch: The $301 fare takes 68h 8m with 2 stops and lands Sunday, Nov 15, so you'd sleep on the island for only two of the four nights you pay for.
Worth it if you can find a faster routing or shift the hotel dates; skip this fare if you want all four nights on the island.
Not worth it this week: the trip is $2,134 for two, all in, for Nov 13–17, 2026 (4 nights). That's the flights at $602 plus Hilton Garden Inn Key West / The Keys Collection at $1,379 and its $153 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. The fare on F9 + MX isn't nonstop: it has 2 stops and takes 68h 8m outbound, so you'd land Sunday, Nov 15, and a checked bag (about $240 for two) isn't in the total.

Why now
At $301 per person, or $602 for two, the fare is $107 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, 26% under it across 12 offers. The problem is time. The outbound leaves Friday, Nov 13 at 3:01 PM and lands Sunday, Nov 15 at 10:19 AM: 68h 8m with 2 stops. The return leaves Tuesday, Nov 17 at 1:16 PM and lands Wednesday, Nov 18 at 2:06 PM. That means you'd use two of the four hotel nights you pay for. The next fare we found, $647 for two on F9 + G4, still has 2 stops but lands Saturday, Nov 14 at 9:04 AM. Mid-November usually brings highs of 78–79°F and lows near 75°F, but it's still hurricane season and the normals show drizzle. We'd wait for a better routing before putting $2,134 down.
The kind of trip this is
This is a small-island beach and nightlife getaway: pastel conch houses, the sunset crowd at Mallory Square, bars and live music on Duval Street, and reef trips out to Dry Tortugas. It suits a couple or two friends who like walking everywhere and mixing slow afternoons with late evenings. Days are easy, nights get loud, and the whole thing sits at the very end of the road.
