Asheville from Providence, Oct 23–25: $1,795 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Clear skies all three days, highs of 69–72°F
- Peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway
- Breakfast and free cancellation at an 8.2-rated hotel, 556 reviews
The catch: The $634 fare leaves at 6:05 AM and lands at 11:04 PM with one stop, and a checked bag is about $160 for two.
Worth it if you want foliage, breweries and mountain air for a weekend; skip it if a full travel day eats too much of 2 nights.
Worth it if you can live with a long travel day: $1,795 for two covers the flights at $1,267 plus 2 nights at Comfort Suites Outlet Center at $474, taxes and fees included. You fly out Friday, Oct 23 and head home Sunday, Oct 25, 2026, on MX + G4 with one stop, not nonstop. Checked bags and spending money are not in that total.

Why now
At $634 per person, the fare sits right at the $634 median of 9 earlier checks on this route, so you're paying what this trip usually costs, not more. The lowest we saw was $600 per person on Oct 12. The forecast for Oct 23–25 is clear all three days, with highs of 69–72°F, lows of 43–45°F and rain chances of 3% to 7%. That's the window for peak fall foliage on the Parkway, which also makes these the busiest weekends in town. The whole trip comes to $1,795 for two before you go, including 2 nights with breakfast; checked bags at $160 for two and the $520 spending budget we'd plan on come on top. It's a long weekend for leaf-peeping, a brewery crawl and slow mornings in cool mountain air.
The kind of trip this is
A fall mountain getaway built around nature and food: scenic drives, short hikes, brewery stops and bluegrass at night. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like an easy pace, a good breakfast and an afternoon on the Parkway with the windows down. With 2 nights and a long travel day on the way in, plan one big outing per day and let the evenings stay loose.
