New Orleans from Milwaukee, Nov 19–23: $1,635 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $322 per person round trip, $512 below the typical fare
- Highs of 64–71°F and lows near 57°F for walking the Quarter
- French Quarter hotel rated 7.7 from 2,334 reviews
The catch: Delta's flight has one stop, takes 5h 18m and lands at 11:59 PM, November is still hurricane season, and a checked bag is about $140 for two.
Worth it if you want food, jazz and mild weather over a long weekend; skip it if a late, one-stop arrival wears you out.
Worth it if a one-stop flight and a late arrival work for you. The trip costs $1,635 for two: $644 for the flights plus $991 for 4 nights at the hotel, taxes and fees included, but not a checked bag or spending money. You leave Milwaukee on Thursday, Nov 19 and come back Monday, Nov 23, 2026, on Delta with one stop, 5h 18m each way on the outbound.

Why now
At $322 per person round trip on Delta, the fare is $512 below the typical fare on this route, a 61% drop, and it's the lowest in 30 days across the 8 checks we ran. With the hotel, the whole trip comes to $1,635 for two. Late November is a good stretch for seeing New Orleans on foot: typical highs of 64–71°F and lows near 57°F, with three of the five days showing clear skies in the seasonal normals. You miss Mardi Gras, when rates triple. The heads-up is that hurricane season runs through November, so check the forecast before you go. Four nights leaves room for Frenchmen Street, a streetcar ride and a museum day without rushing. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city break built on food, music and history, for couples or two friends who like an easy walking pace. You spend the days on beignets, gumbo, the streetcar and a museum, and the nights on live jazz in small clubs. It suits people who like wandering old neighborhoods and eating well. If you want a beach or a quiet resort, this isn't the trip.
