Why go now
$418 per person round trip is $31 below the typical fare on this route, 7% under the $449 median of our earlier checks. It's also the lowest fare we've seen on this route in 30 days. Across 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $418 to $524. Flights for two come to $836. Add the best-value hotel at $549 and $520 for spending, and our rough budget is $1,905 for two. The late-October forecast is overcast, with highs of 84–88°F, lows of 67–75°F and rain chances between 16% and 26%. That's warm enough for an evening of jazz on Frenchmen Street, and it's months before Mardi Gras, when rates triple. Heads-up: October is still hurricane season, so watch the forecast. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around food and music: beignets, gumbo, live jazz and old streets you can cover on foot and by streetcar. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like to eat well and stay out a little late. Two nights keeps the pace full but easy, with one big day on Saturday, Oct 24 and a slower Sunday before the trip home.
