Asheville from Omaha, Oct 16–18: $1,475 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend
- Highs of 60–80°F, with rain chances of 10% or lower all three days
- Comfort Suites: breakfast, free cancellation, 8.2 from 554 reviews
The catch: It's one stop and 4h 46m out on United Express on the busiest foliage weekend, and resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if you want fall color, breweries and cool mountain air for two nights; skip it if a connection or crowds would ruin a short weekend.
Worth it if you're fine with a connection and a busy foliage weekend. The trip for two is $1,475: flights at $958 ($479 per person) plus 2 nights at Comfort Suites Outlet Center for $517, taxes and fees included, with resort fees, a checked bag and spending money not in that total. It runs Friday, Oct 16 to Sunday, Oct 18, 2026 on United, operated by SkyWest as United Express, with one stop, so it's not a nonstop.

Why now
At $479 per person, this fare is right at the median of our 13 checks on this route. The low across those checks was $409, so this isn't a markdown, just a fair price. The whole trip comes to $1,475 for two, all in: $958 for the flights and $517 for the hotel. October is peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the forecast cooperates. It's 80°F on Friday, then highs of 63°F and 60°F with lows down to 37°F, and rain chances of 10%, 5% and 2%. That's jacket weather for the overlooks and brewery patios. You leave Omaha at 3:13 PM Friday and land at 8:59 PM, so the trip costs you one evening, not a whole day. Plan on about $130 per person per day for spending on top of the total.
The kind of trip this is
This is a fall nature-and-food long weekend in the mountains: scenic drives, short hikes, brewery stops and live bluegrass after dark. It suits a couple or two friends who want a mix of fresh air and good meals without a packed schedule. The pace is easy. Spend one full day on the Parkway or at Biltmore, then take a slow Sunday morning before heading home.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Yes, if you don't mind a connection. The fare is $479 per person, the same as the median of our 13 checks. The forecast shows rain chances of 10% or lower, and it's peak foliage. Skip it if a stop and crowded overlooks would spoil a 2-night trip.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,475, all in: $958 for two round-trip flights plus $517 for 2 nights at Comfort Suites Outlet Center, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't included. Plan on about $130 per person per day for spending.

Is 2 nights enough?
For a fall weekend, it is. Friday is a travel evening. Saturday works for the Parkway or Biltmore plus bluegrass at night, and Sunday morning is good for the River Arts District or a brewery before you fly home.
