The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Fare is $612 per person, $85 under the typical fare
- Ocean-view balcony room with breakfast, rated 8.5 from 1,325 reviews
- Highs 54–60°F with an 8–10% chance of rain all weekend
The catch: The 1-stop route takes 37h 53m round trip and lands Saturday at 10:08 AM, so Friday night goes to travel; a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you want two cool, dry days of trails, lobster and ocean views; skip it if an overnight connection would ruin your weekend.
Worth it if you don't mind an overnight connection: the trip comes to $1,766 for two, all in. That's the flights at $1,224 plus 2 nights at Atlantic Eyrie Lodge at $501 and its $41 property fee, with taxes and fees included, but not checked bags or spending money. You fly Oct 23–25, 2026 on F9 + G4 with 1 stop each way, so it isn't nonstop.

Why now
At $612 per person, the fare is $85 below the typical fare on this route, or 12% under it. When we checked, round-trip fares ran from $612 to $818 per person across 12 offers. The forecast for the weekend looks good for being outside: highs of 54–60°F, lows of 38–40°F and a rain chance of 8% to 10% each day, with clear skies on Sunday. Timing matters here. Fall foliage peaks in mid-October and the season ends at month's end, so this is one of the last weekends to catch the park before it closes up for the year. If the overnight routing doesn't work for you, we also found an American Eagle option at $711 per person, $1,422 for two, that lands Friday at 3:58 PM. As with every price on this page, these were all-in fares when we found them and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature-and-food getaway on Mount Desert Island: rocky Atlantic shoreline, granite summits, carriage roads and lobster dinners in Bar Harbor. It's best for a couple who likes to be outside in the morning and at a harbor table by dinner. The pace is full but easy, with a hike or a bike loop, then a long meal. Pack layers, because the cool late-season air comes with the views.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Yes, if you can live with the routing. The fare is $85 below the typical fare on this route, the forecast is dry and the lodge scores 8.5. The catch is the 1-stop schedule: 37h 53m of travel round trip, landing Saturday at 10:08 AM.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $1,766 for two, all in: $1,224 in flights plus 2 nights at Atlantic Eyrie Lodge for $501, with its $41 property fee and taxes included. Checked bags (about $240 for two) and spending money aren't in that number.
What are the flight times?
On F9 + G4, you leave Syracuse Friday, Oct 23 at 5:31 PM and land in Bangor Saturday at 10:08 AM. The return leaves Sunday, Oct 25 at 7:30 PM and lands Monday, Oct 26 at 4:46 PM.
Is there a faster flight?
Yes. We found an American Eagle option with 1 stop at $711 per person, or $1,422 for two. It leaves Friday at 11:57 AM and lands at 3:58 PM the same day, so you'd get your Friday night in Bar Harbor.

Is 2 nights enough?
With this routing you get about a day and a half on the ground. That's enough for Cadillac Mountain, the Park Loop Road, Jordan Pond House and a lobster dinner, as long as you keep the plan tight.
