Why now
At $250 per person round trip, this fare is $106 below the typical fare on this route, which our earlier checks put at $356. Of the 12 fares we tracked, prices ran from $250 to $357, so this one is at the low end, and the deal badge reads 29% below typical. Mid-November is mild in New Orleans, with typical highs of 67–70°F, so you can spend long days walking the French Quarter and stay out late for live music. Heads-up: November is still hurricane season, and the low fare comes with a late Friday departure and a Saturday afternoon arrival. For two people, flights, the best-value hotel and $130 a day each for spending come to $2,367. Prices are all-in as found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city trip built around food and music: beignets, gumbo, jazz clubs, old streets and a museum or two. It suits couples or a pair of friends who like to eat well and wander. The mild weather makes walking easy. The pace is slow by day and later by night. You get Sunday and Monday as full days, plus Saturday evening and Tuesday morning.
