St. Pete / Clearwater from Louisville, Oct 30–Nov 1: $795 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $209 per person, $333 below the highest fare we saw
- Camelot Beach Suites: 9.1 from 727 reviews, free cancellation
- Typical highs of 77–80°F on Clearwater Beach sand
The catch: It's one stop and 9 hours on Breeze going down, landing at 8:39 PM, so most of Friday goes to travel on a 2-night weekend.
Worth it if you want a quick, warm Gulf beach weekend and can give up Friday to travel; skip it if you need a nonstop.
Worth it if a long travel day doesn't bother you. The whole trip is $795 for two: flights at $418, 2 nights at Camelot Beach Suites at $339 and its $38 property fee, with taxes and fees included. You go Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026, on Breeze, with one stop and about 9 hours of travel on the way down.

Why now
The fare is $209 per person, $333 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. We looked at 12 offers, and they ran from $209 to $542 per person, so this one sits at the bottom. That's 61% under the top fare. For late October and early November, typical highs are 77–80°F and lows are near 64°F. That's warm enough for the beach and the Pier 60 sunsets without summer heat. The usual pattern for these days is drizzle on Friday, overcast on Saturday and mostly clear on Sunday. Camelot Beach Suites keeps the stay at $339 with free cancellation, which helps if your plans change. Add it all up and you get $795 for two, a short Gulf break before the holidays. Prices are all in as we found them and can move.
The kind of trip this is
A short beach getaway: calm Gulf water, soft sand and a sunset on the pier, with a museum or a grouper sandwich in between. It suits a couple or two friends who want to slow down for a weekend with no passport and no time change. The pace is easy. Saturday is your full day, so plan one outing and leave the rest for the beach.
