Miami from Charlotte, Nov 13–16: $834 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Nonstop on Frontier, 2h 10m, at $148 per person
- $73 per person below the typical fare on this route
- citizenM in South Beach, rated 8.6 from 1,567 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: A checked bag is about $240 for two and isn't in the total, and the Friday flight doesn't land until 11:51 PM.
Worth it if you want a warm, walkable beach-and-city long weekend; skip it if a late-night arrival or a drizzly day would spoil it.
Worth it for the two of you. The total is $834 for two: flights at $296 plus 3 nights at citizenM Miami South Beach at $538, taxes and fees included, with checked bags, any resort fee and spending money extra. You go Nov 13–16, 2026, nonstop from Charlotte on Frontier in 2h 10m.

Why now
The fare is $148 per person, $73 below the typical fare on this route, a 33% gap, and it carries the Lowest in 30 days badge. Across the 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $148 to $346 per person, so this one sits at the bottom of that range. Mid-November falls after the hot, stormy summer months and before the December to March peak, when the season notes say hotel rates are highest. Typical highs run 80–82°F with lows near 68°F, warm enough for the beach, though the normals show drizzle on Nov 13 and 14 and overcast skies after that. Three nights makes a clean long weekend: out Friday night, home Monday. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-city long weekend for two. Spend mornings on the sand in South Beach and afternoons on the Art Deco streets, grab Cuban coffee in Little Havana and stay out for late dinners if you feel like it. It suits couples or two friends who like a loose plan and a walkable base. The pace is easy, with room for one bigger outing like the Everglades.

Where to stay in Miami
Our pick is citizenM Miami South Beach: $538 for the 3 nights ($179 a night) in a King Room rated 8.6 from 1,567 reviews, with free cancellation. It's the best value and it's the hotel in the $834 total. South Beach puts you near Ocean Drive, the Art Deco hotels and the widest stretch of sand. Best Western Plus Atlantic Beach Resort in Mid-Beach costs $562 ($187 a night) and is rated 6.8 from 1,711 reviews, with two double beds. Mid-Beach is quieter, a short ride from the South Beach scene. To spend less, Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Marco Polo Beach Resort is $436 for the stay ($145 a night) and is rated 6.7 from 1,603 reviews. All three are room only and offer free cancellation.
