San Diego from Omaha, Oct 23–25: $1,254 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $113 below the typical fare on this route, lowest in 30 days
- Clear skies forecast, highs 76–81°F, rain chance 4% or less
- Hilton San Diego Mission Valley: 7.9 from 1,742 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: Frontier has one stop and lands at 11:56 PM Friday, so Saturday is your one full day, and resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if one warm, packed Saturday is enough for you; skip it if you want a nonstop or a slow, full weekend.
Worth it if you can handle one stop and a late Friday arrival: $1,254 for two covers round-trip flights at $856 plus 2 nights at Hilton San Diego Mission Valley at $398, with taxes and fees included. You'd go Oct 23–25, 2026 on Frontier with one stop, leaving Omaha at 8:59 PM and landing at 11:56 PM after a 4h 57m trip. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are not in the total.

Why now
At $428 per person, this Frontier fare is $113 below the typical fare on this route, a 21% gap, and it's the lowest we've seen on this route in 30 days. We checked 12 offers, ranging from $428 to $597 per person, and the next options, on American and Southwest, came in at $497 per person. The forecast for Oct 23–25 is clear all three days, with highs of 76°F, 81°F and 79°F, lows of 67°F to 69°F, and a 4% rain chance on Friday, then 0%. That's weather for swimming at Coronado Beach and catching the sunset at Sunset Cliffs. These prices include taxes and fees as we found them when we checked, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
A warm-weather beach-and-city weekend at a quick pace, with Saturday as the one full day. It suits a couple or two friends who like to keep moving, from the zoo and Balboa Park to fish tacos in North Park and an afternoon on the sand. Families can make it work too, though the late Friday landing is easier on adults traveling without kids.
