Asheville from Fort Myers, Oct 23–25: $1,774 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Highs of 64–68°F, with a 4–6% rain chance Friday and Saturday
- Peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway in October
- Comfort Suites Outlet Center: 8.2 from 556 reviews, breakfast, free cancellation
The catch: The $623 fare makes 2 stops and takes 49h 23m, landing Saturday at 5:44 PM, so you'd get one evening before a Sunday 6:30 AM flight home.
Worth it if you can switch to American's 1-stop on Friday evening; skip it if the 49h 23m routing is your only option.
Not worth it this week: the whole trip is $1,774 for two, all in. That's the flights at $1,246, 2 nights at Comfort Suites Outlet Center at $474 and $54 in fees paid at the property, taxes included. The trip runs Oct 23–25, 2026, on MX + G4 with 2 stops, not nonstop, and the flight there takes 49h 23m.

Why now
The numbers say wait. The fare we found is $623 per person, which is $26 above the $597 median of 10 earlier checks on this route, or 4% higher. The lowest fare in the last 30 days was $506. The timing is worse than the price: you'd leave Friday at 6:00 AM, land Saturday at 5:44 PM after 2 stops, and fly home Sunday at 6:30 AM. The weekend itself looks good, with highs of 64–68°F, rain chances of 4% and 6% on Friday and Saturday and 28% on Sunday. October is peak foliage on the Parkway, but it also brings the busiest weekends. There's a 1-stop on American at $640 per person that leaves at 7:51 PM Friday and lands at 11:58 PM, taking 4h 7m. That fare would change the total, so check it before you decide.
The kind of trip this is
This is a mountain-town long weekend built on nature, food and culture: the Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway, craft breweries and live bluegrass. It suits a couple or two friends who like cool-weather walks, a good brewery and an early night. The pace is easy, but with only 2 nights every hour on the ground counts, and this routing uses up most of them.
