Miami from Cincinnati, Dec 11–14: $1,258 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs of 77–79°F in mid-December, a real break from Ohio
- Hotel Trouvail Miami Beach scores 8.6 from 1,214 reviews
- $253 per person, right at the $253 median we've tracked
The catch: It's one stop each way and the return is an overnight flight landing at 8:18 AM; a checked bag is about $240 for two, not in the total.
Worth it if you want warm December beach days and don't mind a long travel day; skip it if you need a nonstop.
Worth it if a long travel day doesn't bother you: Miami for Dec 11–14, 2026, 3 nights, comes to $1,258 for two. That's the flights at $505 plus Hotel Trouvail Miami Beach at $671 and its $82 resort fee, with taxes and fees included, but checked bags and spending money are extra. Frontier (F9) flies it with one stop each way, not nonstop.

Why now
At $1,258 for two, all in, this 3-night warm-weather getaway is priced at what the route usually costs. The fare is $253 per person, the same as the $253 median from our 5 earlier checks, so it's 0% above or below typical. We've seen it as low as $181 in recent checks, and it isn't there now. December is peak season in Miami, with warm, dry days and the highest hotel rates, so Hotel Trouvail Miami Beach at $671 for the stay helps. Normal highs for these dates are 77–79°F with lows near 66°F, though the day-by-day normals show drizzle and some rain, so bring a light layer. It works for a couple who wants beach time, Cuban food and Art Deco before the holidays.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-city long weekend. You get mornings on the sand, afternoons for Cuban coffee and street art, and evenings that can run late if you want them to. It suits couples and friends who like a mix of lazy and lively. The pace is easy, since there's no time difference to adjust to and the hotels are close to the ocean. With the long travel days on both ends, it's better for people who can roll with a stop.
