Why go now
$355 per person is $13 below the $368 median from the 18 earlier checks we ran on this route. That's about 4% less. It's a small gap, but this fare is nonstop, and it beats both the one-stop Frontier option at $368 and the B6 nonstop at $387. In October Orlando has the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events. The forecast looks good for park days: 82°F with a 26% chance of drizzle Friday, 75°F and clear Saturday, and 78°F and overcast Sunday. That's a long way from the hot, stormy summer afternoons. Rough math for two: $710 in flights, $244 for the Days Inn and $520 in spending money adds up to $1,474. These prices were all-in when we found them, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park long weekend, and it's short. You land Friday morning and fly home Sunday morning. It suits a couple or two friends who want one or two big park days, dinner at the EPCOT festival and a Halloween event, and don't mind a busy schedule. It's not a slow resort stay. Pack light, plan your park day ahead and keep evenings simple.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
When we checked, it was $355 per person round trip, or $710 for two, all-in, nonstop from Newark on Frontier (F9). Other options we found were a one-stop Frontier flight at $368 per person and a B6 nonstop at $387.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, so you pay in US dollars, and there's no time difference with New York.
What is the weather like?
The forecast says 82°F with a 26% chance of drizzle on Friday, 75°F and clear on Saturday (18% chance of rain) and 78°F and overcast on Sunday (19%). Lows run 57–67°F, so bring a light layer for the evenings.
Is 2 nights enough?
For a quick park weekend, yes. You land at 8:54 AM Friday and leave at 7:20 AM Sunday, so you get Friday and all of Saturday. That's enough for one or two parks, not a full tour of Orlando.
What does the whole trip cost for two?
About $1,474: $710 for flights, $244 for two nights at the Days Inn and $520 in spending money, or $130 per person per day. Park tickets aren't included in those numbers.
Which New York airport does it leave from?
The $355 nonstop leaves from Newark Liberty International (EWR), not JFK or LaGuardia, and lands at Orlando International (MCO). It leaves at 5:55 AM, so plan an early ride to the airport.
