Why go now
At $477 per person round trip, or $954 for two, this fare is $120 below the typical fare on this route. Our earlier checks put that typical fare at $597, so this one is 20% under and carries the "20% below typical" badge. Across the 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $477 to $613, so this one is at the low end. Late October is still hurricane season, so keep an eye on the forecast. Right now it shows overcast skies, highs of 84–88°F and a 16% to 26% chance of rain, which is warm enough for long evenings of live music. Add the best-value hotel at $528 and set aside $520 for spending, and the weekend for two comes to $2,002. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a food-and-music city weekend: jazz clubs, Creole and Cajun cooking, old architecture and a bit of history. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like to walk, eat well and stay out late. The pace is easy during the day and busier at night. You get one full Saturday, so pick a museum or a streetcar ride for the daytime and save Frenchmen Street for after dark.
