The weekend after

New York City from Savannah, Oct 30–Nov 1: $1,781 for two, all in

The verdict

IT’S WORTH IT ★ IT’S WORTH IT ★

Our verdict

Worth it, because

  • Delta nonstop, 2h 10m, landing at 9:30 AM Friday
  • $259 per person, $200 below the typical fare on this route
  • Westgate New York Grand Central: 8.4 from 1,752 reviews, free cancellation

The catch: The total leaves out a checked bag, about $140 for two, and Saturday's normals point to drizzle with a high near 63°F.

Worth it if you want shows, museums and a fast-paced city weekend; skip it if you're after warm weather or a slow, quiet trip.

Worth it for the two of you: $1,781 for two, all in. That's $518 for the flights, $1,114 for 2 nights at Westgate New York Grand Central and its $149 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. You go Friday, Oct 30 and come back Sunday, Nov 1, 2026, on a Delta nonstop operated by Endeavor Air as Delta Connection.

Why now

When we checked, the fare was $259 per person. That's $200 below the typical fare on this route, which runs $459 per person based on 15 earlier checks. Over the last 30 days the low was $242, and we saw fares between $259 and $403 across 12 offers. The 7:20 AM nonstop gets you in at 9:30 AM Friday, so you have most of the first day. Expect highs of 61–65°F and lows near 48°F, which is good walking weather for the High Line or the Brooklyn Bridge. Pack a layer, since Saturday's normals call for drizzle. The hotel comes with free cancellation, so you can lock in the room while you look at show tickets. These prices were all-in when we found them, and they can change.

The kind of trip this is

This is a quick city weekend built around food, culture and skyline views. You'll walk a lot and use the subway, with a Broadway show or a rooftop sunset in the evening. It suits couples or two friends who like to stay busy and don't mind cool, gray fall days. Two nights is tight, so pick a few neighborhoods and stick to them.

Questions readers ask

Is it worth it?

Yes, for the two of you. You get a 2h 10m nonstop at $259 per person, which is $200 below the typical fare on this route, plus a hotel rated 8.4 with free cancellation.

How much is the whole trip for two?

$1,781, all in. That's $518 for the flights and $1,114 for 2 nights at Westgate New York Grand Central, including the $149 resort fee. A checked bag, about $140 for two, isn't included, and neither is spending money. We budget $760 for that.

Do I need a passport?

No. It's a domestic trip, you pay in US dollars and New York is on the same time as Savannah.

What is the weather like?

Typical highs are 61–65°F and lows are near 48°F. Friday and Sunday usually run overcast, and Saturday's normals call for drizzle, so bring a light rain layer.

Is 2 nights enough?

For a first taste, yes. The flight lands at 9:30 AM Friday, so you have close to three days. That's enough for a show, a museum, the High Line and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Can I cancel the hotel?

Westgate New York Grand Central has free cancellation. Park Terrace Hotel and Four Points by Sheraton New York Downtown don't, at least at the rates we found.
