Orlando from Cleveland, Oct 30–Nov 1: $482 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Nonstop on Frontier in 2h 31m, landing at 3:58 PM
- $133 per person, $49 below the typical fare on this route
- Best Western Orlando Gateway Hotel, 7.7 from 5,799 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: A checked bag is about $240 for two and isn't in the $482, and the normals for Sunday, Nov 1 show drizzle.
Worth it if you want a quick theme-park weekend near Universal and can pack light; skip it if you need checked bags or a slow pace.
Worth it for the two of you: $482 for two, all in, covers nonstop Frontier flights at $266, 2 nights at Best Western Orlando Gateway Hotel at $194 and its $22 resort fee, taxes and fees included. You fly out Friday, Oct 30 and come home Sunday, Nov 1, 2026. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $133 per person, this nonstop is $49 below the typical fare on this route, a 27% gap, and other fares we saw for the same dates went as high as $332. That brings the whole weekend to $482 for two, all in: $266 for the flights, $194 for the Best Western Orlando Gateway Hotel and its $22 resort fee. Late October is a good window for the parks, too. The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events are on, and the normals for these dates show highs of 78–81°F with lows of 61–65°F. Your flight lands Friday, Oct 30 at 3:58 PM, which leaves the evening free, and Saturday, Oct 31 is the clearest of the three days. It's a short, full weekend that makes sense at this price.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend for two: one or two big park days, a Halloween night out and warm evenings around International Drive. It suits couples or a pair of friends who like rides, festival food and a fast pace, and who are fine packing a carry-on for 2 nights. If you want to slow down, a river morning on the Wekiva is a quieter option.
