St. Pete / Clearwater from Atlanta, Oct 30–Nov 1: $597 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Nonstop on Frontier, 1h 38m from Atlanta to Tampa
- $110 per person, 4% below the typical $114 fare
- Camelot Beach Suites: 9.1 from 728 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: A checked bag runs about $240 for two and isn't in the $597, and the normals show drizzle Friday and clouds Saturday.
Worth it if you pack carry-on only and want a quick beach weekend; skip it if you need checked bags or three clear days.
Worth it if you travel light: $597 for two covers Frontier's nonstop flights at $220 plus Camelot Beach Suites at $339 and its $38 resort fee, taxes and fees included. The dates are Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026, 2 nights, with a 1h 38m outbound from Atlanta to Tampa. Checked bags and spending money aren't in that figure.

Why now
At $110 per person, the fare is $4 below the $114 median from our earlier checks on this route, or 4% under. The lowest of our 6 checks was $108, so this one is close to the floor. For two, the whole trip comes to $597: flights, 2 nights at Camelot Beach Suites and its $38 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag and spending money cost extra. Late October here is warm, not hot. Normals put highs at 77–80°F and lows near 64°F. Friday may bring drizzle and Saturday may be overcast, but Sunday looks mostly clear. If you take the 10:11 AM nonstop, you land at 11:49 AM and can be on the sand that afternoon. It's a short, warm reset with no passport and no time change.
The kind of trip this is
This is an easy beach weekend: calm Gulf water, sugar-white sand and sunset at Pier 60, with the museums and food of downtown St. Petersburg a short drive away. It suits a couple or two friends who want slow mornings, a swim and one good dinner out more than a packed schedule. With only 2 nights, it stays relaxed if you keep close to the sand.
