The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $152 per person, $56 below the typical fare on this route
- Clearwater Beach Hotel: free cancellation, rated 7.5 from 2,678 reviews
- Typical highs of 77–80°F, plus Pier 60 sunsets on Clearwater Beach
The catch: The $152 fare has one stop and 16h 4m of travel, the return lands Monday, Nov 2 at 1:25 PM, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you can take Monday off and want an easy Gulf beach weekend; skip it if 16h 4m of travel is too much for two nights.
Worth it if you can take Monday off. The trip costs $720 for two, all in: $304 for the flights and $376 for 2 nights at Clearwater Beach Hotel, plus its $40 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. You fly Friday, Oct 30 and come back Sunday, Nov 1, 2026 on Frontier (F9) to Tampa with one stop, so it isn't nonstop, and a checked bag and spending money cost extra.

Why now
The fare is $152 per person, $56 below the typical fare on this route. Across 9 checks, the lowest fare we've seen is $151. For these dates, fares ran from $152 to $324 per person. With the hotel and its $40 resort fee, the whole trip comes to $720 for two before you go. That's the price we found when we checked, and prices change. Late October is mild on the Gulf, with typical highs of 77–80°F and lows near 64°F. Expect possible drizzle Friday, clouds Saturday and mostly clear skies Sunday. The crowded month here is March, with spring break and spring training, so this weekend falls well outside it. Heads-up: we also saw a Frontier nonstop at $191 per person, 3h 18m each way, if you'd rather save time than money.
The kind of trip this is
This is a slow Gulf beach weekend: calm water and sugar-white sand on Clearwater Beach, a Pier 60 sunset and a grouper sandwich at John's Pass Village. It suits a couple or two friends who want a reset without needing a passport. If the sky stays gray, you can visit a museum in St. Petersburg. The pace is easy once you land, though the trip there and back takes a real bite out of two nights.

Where to stay in St. Pete / Clearwater
All three hotels are on Clearwater Beach, the stretch with powder-white sand, Pier 60 sunsets and family resorts.

$720, all in. That's $304 for the flights, $376 for 2 nights at Clearwater Beach Hotel and its $40 resort fee. A checked bag is about $240 for two. We'd budget $520 for two in spending money, which brings the trip to $1,200.
