Asheville from Boston, Oct 30–Nov 1: $1,208 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $401 per person, $178 below the typical fare on this route
- La Quinta scores 8.4 from 1,005 reviews, breakfast and free cancellation
- Peak fall foliage on the Parkway, highs of 59–62°F
The catch: The fare has one stop, the return leaves 7:55 PM Sunday and lands 12:09 PM Monday, and a checked bag is about $200 for two.
Worth it if you want fall color, breweries and bluegrass for less; skip it if a stop and an overnight return would wreck your Monday.
Worth it if you can handle a stop: $1,208 for two, all in, which is the flights at $801 plus 2 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Downtown Asheville at $365 and its $42 resort fee, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Friday, Oct 30 to Sunday, Nov 1, 2026, on Allegiant (G4) with one stop, not nonstop. A checked bag, about $200 for two, and spending money are not in that total.

Why now
At $401 per person, the fare is $178 below the typical fare on this route, which is $579 per person across 16 earlier checks, or 31% lower. That puts the whole weekend at $1,208 for two, all in, with the hotel and its resort fee counted. The dates land on the last weekend of October, when the season note calls for peak fall foliage on the Parkway and the busiest weekends, so the drive to Craggy Gardens is the reason to go. Expect highs of 59–62°F with drizzle on Friday and overcast skies after that, which is jacket weather for hikes and brewery patios. Fares we saw ran from $401 to $583 per person across 12 offers. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can move before you book.
The kind of trip this is
A fall mountain getaway built around food, beer and scenery: one day for the Biltmore Estate, one for the Blue Ridge Parkway, evenings in Downtown Asheville for bluegrass and breweries. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk, drive and eat well at an easy pace, and who don't mind cool, gray weather. Two nights is short, so pick two big things and leave the rest.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if you can live with a stop. The fare is $401 per person, 31% below the typical $579 on this route, and the hotel has breakfast and free cancellation. If you want a short flight, the nonstop we saw on Allegiant was $505 per person.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,208 for two, all in: $801 for the flights and $365 for 2 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Downtown Asheville, plus its $42 resort fee, taxes and fees included. A checked bag, about $200 for two, and spending money are extra; we budget $520 for spending.
What are the flight times?
The outbound leaves Boston Logan (BOS) at 10:01 AM Friday, Oct 30 and arrives at Asheville Regional (AVL) at 12:24 PM, with one stop. The return leaves 7:55 PM Sunday, Nov 1 and lands 12:09 PM Monday, Nov 2.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, you pay in US dollars and Asheville is on the same time as Boston.
What is the weather like?
Normals for the dates show highs of 59–62°F and lows from 38°F to 48°F, with drizzle on Friday and overcast skies Saturday and Sunday. Pack layers and a rain jacket.
Is 2 nights enough?
For a long weekend, yes, if you pick two anchors: the Biltmore Estate and a Parkway drive to Craggy Gardens. The return leaves Sunday evening, so Sunday stays a full day.
