- $191 per person, $305 below the typical fare on this route

Why now
At $191 per person, the nonstop fare is $305 below the typical fare on this route, which our earlier checks put at $496 per person. That's 61% under, and it's the lowest fare we've seen in 30 days. The whole trip comes to $1,297 for two, all in: $382 for flights and $804 for 4 nights at citizenM Washington DC Georgetown, plus its $111 property fee, with taxes and fees included. For mid-November, expect typical highs of 51–59°F, lows near 38°F and mostly overcast skies. That's good walking weather for the Mall, and it gives you a reason to spend long afternoons in the free Smithsonian museums. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change before you book. A checked bag and spending money are extra.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-history long weekend for two, built around monuments, museums and good dinners at an easy pace. The Metro links most of what you'll want to see. Since the Smithsonian museums are free, you can drop in for an hour without planning your day around it. It suits couples or friends who like walking, reading the plaques and eating well. Anyone chasing nightlife or a beach should look elsewhere.
