Why go now
The fare is $364 per person round trip, or $728 for two, with taxes and fees included at the time we checked. That's $5,069 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. Across the 10 offers we found, fares ran from $364 to $5,433. We don't have enough earlier checks to call any fare typical, so read this as a low fare among what's available right now. Prices can change before you book.
The forecast is on your side: clear to mostly clear skies, highs of 70°F to 80°F, lows from 46°F and rain chances of just 3% to 6%. Late October also comes before the November snow closures on the Tioga and Glacier Point roads. It's a short, active nature weekend with granite walls, sequoias and big trail days. Heads-up: you land Saturday morning and fly out Sunday afternoon.
The kind of trip this is
This is a national park getaway: nature first, with hiking, viewpoints and big trees. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who don't mind a tight schedule and early starts. The pace is brisk because you get about one and a half days on the ground. Plan one big hike and one sunset or photo stop, then head home. Families could do it too, but the long flight times are worth weighing.
