The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $412 per person, $76 below the typical fare on this route
- citizenM Miami South Beach: 8.6 from 1,586 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 81–83°F, lows of 76–77°F for the weekend
The catch: The Frontier fare has one stop and takes 21h 8m outbound, landing at 10:29 AM Saturday, so your first hotel night goes unused.
Worth it if you can sleep anywhere and want two beach days for less; skip it if a 21h 8m trip there would ruin your weekend.
Worth it if you can handle a long overnight connection. $1,376 for two covers Frontier flights at $824, citizenM Miami South Beach at $492 and its $60 property fee, with taxes and fees included. The trip runs Nov 6–8, 2026, for 2 nights, from Newark with one stop, and the outbound takes 21h 8m.

Why now
At $412 per person, this Frontier fare is $76 below the typical fare on this route, which is based on 17 earlier checks with a median of $488. The trip for two comes to $1,376 all in: $824 for the flights, plus $492 for citizenM Miami South Beach and its $60 property fee. Checked bags (about $240 for two) and spending money aren't included. The forecast for Nov 6–8 shows highs of 81–83°F, lows of 76–77°F and a 26% to 41% chance of drizzle. That's warm beach weather, with maybe a shower or two. What you give up is time: the outbound leaves Newark at 11:00 PM Friday and lands at 10:29 AM Saturday. If you'd rather keep Friday, United flies nonstop in 3h 8m for $1,114 for two. These are all-in prices from when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is an easygoing beach-and-city long weekend. Your days go to the sand on South Beach and a walk past the Art Deco hotels. Your evenings go to Cuban food and bars that stay open late. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm water and good food without needing a passport, and who don't mind taking a red-eye home on Sunday night.

Where to stay in Miami
We priced three hotels for the 2 nights. citizenM Miami South Beach is the best value and the one in the total: $492 for the stay ($246 a night), 8.6 from 1,586 reviews, free cancellation and a $60 fee paid at the property. The Julia Hotel is the top rated at 9.3 from 1,742 reviews. It costs $625 for the stay ($313 a night), has no free cancellation and charges $77 in property fees. Best Western Plus Atlantic Beach Resort is the budget pick at $378 ($189 a night), with 6.8 from 1,706 reviews, free cancellation and $46 in property fees. The first two are in South Beach, close to Ocean Drive and the widest stretch of sand. The Best Western is in Mid-Beach, which is quieter and a short ride from the South Beach scene.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
It's worth it if you're fine with the long trip there. The fare is $76 per person below the typical fare on this route, and the hotel scores 8.6. But the outbound takes 21h 8m with one stop, so your beach time starts on Saturday morning.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,376 all in: $824 for the flights, $492 for 2 nights at citizenM Miami South Beach and its $60 property fee. A checked bag, about $240 for two, and spending money are extra.
Is there a nonstop?
When we checked, United had a nonstop at 7:00 AM Friday that lands at 10:08 AM. It takes 3h 8m and costs $557 per person, or $1,114 for two, in place of the $824 Frontier fare.
What is the weather like?
The forecast shows highs of 81–83°F and lows of 76–77°F. The chance of drizzle is 26% on Friday and 41% on Saturday and Sunday. It's warm enough for the beach, but pack something light for a shower.
