- $664 per person, $604 below the typical fare on this route
- Peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway for your dates

Why now
At $664 per person round trip, $1,328 for two, this fare is $604 below the typical fare on this route. Our earlier checks put that typical fare at $1,268 per person, so this one is 48% lower. It's also the lowest fare in 30 days, out of 12 offers that ran as high as $1,354 per person. The timing works too: Oct 23–25 falls in peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The forecast shows overcast skies, highs of 77°F, 72°F and 67°F, and an 8% rain chance Friday and Saturday, 16% on Sunday. One heads-up: peak foliage also means the busiest weekends, so expect crowds on the Parkway and at the Biltmore Estate. If you want a two-night getaway of mountain drives, hikes, breweries and live bluegrass, this fare is worth a serious look.
The kind of trip this is
This is a fall long weekend for two that mixes nature and food. Spend the mornings on the Blue Ridge Parkway or a waterfall trail and the afternoons at the Biltmore Estate. Evenings are for breweries and bluegrass rooms downtown. It suits couples and friends who like to stay busy all day and slow down at night. With a late Friday arrival and only two nights, the pace is full but not frantic.

Where to stay in Asheville
We didn't price a hotel for this page, so the fare is the only number here. Check the hotel's own site for the current rate. After an 11:55 PM arrival, Downtown Asheville is the easy base for two nights, with Art Deco streets and breweries, music venues and galleries you can walk to. Biltmore Village puts you among inns and shops at the gates of the Biltmore Estate, which is handy if the estate is your Saturday plan. The River Arts District has converted mills with studios and riverside restaurants. West Asheville has local bars and cafes along Haywood Road. Black Mountain is a small mountain town 15 miles east with craft shops and trailheads instead of city streets. This is one of the busiest weekends of the year, so plan for a full town.
