Why now
At $536 per person round trip, or $1,071 for two, this fare is $36 above the $500 median of our earlier checks on this route, and we saw it as low as $430 on Oct 12. So it isn't a bargain. It's a fair price for a weekend that's hard to get cheap. October brings peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and these are the busiest weekends in Asheville. The forecast shows a high of 81°F on Friday, then 58°F on Saturday and Sunday, with lows down to 34°F and little rain. That's crisp weather for hiking and driving the Parkway, and a real change from San Juan. The best-value room is $532 for both nights with breakfast. Heads-up: the flight times are tight, so Saturday is your only full day on the ground.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature and food getaway in the mountains: fall color on the Parkway, a short hike, a brewery crawl and live bluegrass at night. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who don't mind a fast pace, since you'll pack the trip into one full Saturday. Bring layers. It's a cool-weather weekend for people coming from the tropics.

Sleep Inn Asheville - Biltmore West is the best value: $532 for the 2 nights ($266 a night), breakfast included, a review score of 8.2 from 524 reviews, and free cancellation.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
$536 per person round trip, or $1,071 for two, on F9 + G4 with 1 stop. That's $36 above the $500 median of our earlier checks on this route. The price includes taxes and fees as of when we checked, and it can change.
Do I need a passport?
No. Asheville is in the United States, so you won't need a passport, you'll pay in US dollars and you won't change your clocks.
What is the weather like?
Friday's forecast is overcast with a high of 81°F. Saturday is overcast at 58°F with a low of 37°F, and Sunday is clear at 58°F with a low of 34°F. The chance of rain is between 1% and 13% each day.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's tight. You land at 11:03 PM on Friday and your return leaves at 7:50 AM on Sunday, so Saturday is your one full day. Pick the Parkway and a hike, or the Biltmore Estate, not both.
