Why go now
At $323 per person all-in, this fare is $80 below the typical fare on this route, which is $403. That's 20% less. We found 12 offers for these dates, priced from $323 to $468, and the median of our 16 earlier checks was $403. So this sits at the low end of what we've seen. One check on Oct 12 did find $296, though, so fares move and none of these prices is held. Late October is still hurricane season. The forecast shows overcast skies, highs of 84–88°F, lows of 67–75°F and a 16–26% chance of rain. Warm evenings like that suit a weekend of jazz clubs, Creole and Cajun cooking and slow walks past old balconies. For two people, our budget estimate is $1,694. That covers flights, the best-value hotel and $520 of spending.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food weekend: live music, long dinners, a beignet or two and history on every block. It suits a couple or two friends who like to eat well and stay out late. The pace is tight because the flight lands Saturday afternoon and leaves Sunday evening. Pick one neighborhood and settle in instead of trying to cover the whole city.
