The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs of 78–79°F and lows near 75°F for mid-November
- Hilton balcony room, partial ocean view, rated 8.6 from 1,084 reviews
- $339 per person, $66 below the highest fare we saw
The catch: The $339 fare has 2 stops and takes 41h 39m on the way out; the 3h 10m American nonstop is $738 for two.
Worth it if you can give up a day to get there or pay $738 for two for the nonstop; skip the low fare if time matters most.
Worth it if you can live with a long trip down: $3,046 for two, all in, covering the flights at $677 plus Hilton Key West Resort & Marina at $2,132 and its $237 resort fee, taxes and fees included. It's Nov 14–21, 2026, 7 nights, on B6 + MX with 2 stops each way, so not a nonstop. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
$339 per person, or $677 for two, is $66 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 16% gap across 12 offers we checked. Add 7 nights at Hilton Key West Resort & Marina with its resort fee and the trip comes to $3,046 for two, taxes and fees included, as found when we checked; prices can change. A checked bag at about $180 for two and spending money are extra. Mid-November normals give highs of 78–79°F and lows near 75°F, with some drizzle and overcast days in the outlook and one mostly clear day. November is still listed as hurricane season, so keep an eye on the forecast before you go. It's a week for slow mornings, the sunset crowd at Mallory Square and a day out on the reef at Dry Tortugas National Park.
The kind of trip this is
An island beach-and-history week at an easy pace: pastel conch houses, walkable Old Town streets, a sunset crowd every evening, reef snorkeling and the bars of Duval Street when you want them. It suits a couple or two friends who would rather stroll, eat and swim than tick off a list, with nightlife close by but never required.
