Flights $398 + hotel $1,259 + resort fee $179, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about $240
Frontier · with a stop · 6h 23m
The catch: The flight out has one stop and takes 6h 23m, November brings drizzle and some rain, and a checked bag is about $240 for two that isn't in the total.
Worth it if you want a walkable city week in a jacket on a modest fare; skip it if you need a nonstop or sunshine.
