Flights $2,453 + hotel $1,550, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about $240

F9 + AC · with a stop · 77h 46m

The catch: The cheapest fare has 3 stops and takes 77h 46m out, landing Monday, Nov 16 at 5:40 PM, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.

Worth it if a long, multi-stop flight is a fair trade for peak autumn color; skip it if travel days wipe you out.
