Why go now
At $154 per person round trip, or $308 for two, this fare is $40 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's 21% less. We looked at 12 offers, and fares ran from $154 to $194 per person. That's the all-in price, taxes and fees included, as we found it, and it can change. The outbound flight is a Frontier nonstop that leaves O'Hare at 7:55 AM on Saturday, Nov 7 and lands at 12:02 PM, so you still get the afternoon on the sand. In early November, Fort Lauderdale usually sees highs of 78–82°F and lows near 68°F, a good break from fall in Chicago. Heads-up: November is still Atlantic hurricane season. Our sample budget for two, with flights, the best-value hotel and spending money, comes to $1,442.
The kind of trip this is
This is an easy beach getaway with good food on the side. Think slow mornings on a wide stretch of sand, a canal ride in the afternoon and dinner on Las Olas Boulevard. It's more laid-back than Miami, and it works well for a couple, a few friends or a family that wants warm weather without a packed schedule. Three nights is enough to slow down without burning a lot of vacation days.
