Why go now
At $318 per person round trip, this fare is $224 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's a 41% gap across the 12 offers we checked. For two, flights come to $636. Add the Hilton Garden Inn and $520 of spending money and the whole weekend comes to $1,720 for two. The outbound leaves BWI at 3:11 PM on Friday, Oct 23 and lands at MSY at 8:10 PM local time, so you can still work most of Friday. The forecast shows overcast skies all three days, with highs of 82–88°F, lows of 71–74°F and rain chances of 16–26%. Late October is still hurricane season, so watch the forecast as the date gets closer. The trip is built for eating, live music and long walks through old neighborhoods. Prices include taxes and fees as we found them and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around food and music: beignets, gumbo, jazz clubs and streetcar rides, plus history at the museums and cemeteries. It suits a couple or two friends sharing a room who like to walk, eat well and stay out late. Days are easy and nights get livelier. With only two nights, a loose plan works better than a packed one.
