- Typical highs of 75–77°F and lows near 73°F for your dates

The catch: The MX return leaves Monday at 4:09 PM with one stop and lands Tuesday, Dec 1 at 3:28 PM; checked bags are about $160 for two.
Worth it if you want a warm long weekend and can give up Tuesday to travel; skip it if you need to be home Monday night.
Worth it if you can live with a slow trip home: $1,448 for two covers the flights at $441, 3 nights at Blue Flamingo Resort Key West at $906 and its $101 resort fee, taxes and fees included.

Why now
At $221 per person, the fare is $23 below the typical fare on this route, a 9% gap against the $244 median of our earlier checks. Of the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $221 to $278 per person, so this one sits at the low end. With 3 nights at Blue Flamingo Resort Key West and its resort fee, the whole trip comes to $1,448 for two before you go. The dates look warm: typical highs of 75–77°F and lows near 73°F, mostly overcast, with drizzle in the outlook for Monday, Nov 30. November is still hurricane season, so check the forecast before you leave. It's a good fit for a long weekend of sunsets, reef time and walking around Old Town. Prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
An easygoing island getaway with a bit of everything: beach time, history, live music and long sunset evenings. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk everywhere, keep the days loose and pick one big outing, like a reef trip or the Overseas Highway. Duval Street has nightlife if you want it, and quieter corners are close by if you don't.

For most couples, yes, if the return works for you. The fare is $23 per person below the typical fare on this route and highs run 75–77°F. The catch is the MX return: it leaves Monday at 4:09 PM and lands Tuesday at 3:28 PM.

$1,448, all in: $441 for two round-trip flights plus $906 for 3 nights at Blue Flamingo Resort Key West and its $101 resort fee, taxes and fees included. Checked bags, about $160 for two, and spending money aren't in that total.
Is there a nonstop?
The fare in our total is MX with one stop. We also saw a Breeze nonstop at $442 for two, listed at 2h 34m, which is worth checking if you'd rather skip the long trip home.

Do I need a passport?
No. Key West is in Florida, you pay in US dollars, and it's on the same time as Raleigh-Durham.

For a long weekend, yes. That's time for the sunset at Mallory Square, the Hemingway Home, key lime pie on Duval Street and one bigger day, like the reef at Dry Tortugas National Park.
