Asheville from West Palm Beach, Oct 30–Nov 1: $666 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Nonstop on Allegiant, 1h 53m, landing 10:59 PM Friday
- $140 per person, $170 below the typical fare on this route
- Free cancellation at Brookstone Lodge, 7.7 from 913 reviews
The catch: A checked bag is about $200 for two and isn't in the total, and late October brings the Parkway's busiest foliage weekends.
Worth it if you pack light and want leaves, beer and bluegrass; skip it if you need warm, dry days or empty trails.
Worth it if you can travel with carry-ons only: $666 for two covers nonstop Allegiant flights at $280, 2 nights at Brookstone Lodge near Biltmore Village, an Ascend Collection Hotel at $346 and its $40 property fee, with taxes and fees included. You leave Friday, Oct 30 at 9:06 PM and come home Sunday, Nov 1. Checked bags and spending money aren't in that number.

Why now
The fare is $140 per person, $170 below the typical fare on this route. That's a 55% gap, and it's the lowest fare we've seen in 30 days. Across 12 checks we saw fares between $140 and $577. Add the hotel and it comes to $666 for two before you go. The dates land at peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which also makes this one of the busiest weekends of the year, so expect company at the overlooks. Typical highs are 59–62°F with lows near 44°F. Expect drizzle on Friday and overcast skies the rest of the weekend, good jacket weather for brewery stops and the estate gardens. The flight is 1h 53m nonstop and there's no time change. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
A cool-weather mountain weekend built around food, beer and scenery. It suits a couple or two friends who like a slow morning, then a scenic drive, then an evening of bluegrass. The pace is easy: with two nights you get one full day out on Saturday and a relaxed Sunday before the flight home. Pack layers, because this is sweater season.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Yes if you travel light. The fare is $140 per person, 55% under the typical fare on this route, and the flight is nonstop. A checked bag adds about $200 for two, and the leaf-peeping crowds are at their peak.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$666 for two, with taxes and fees: $280 for the flights, $346 for 2 nights at Brookstone Lodge and the $40 property fee. Checked bags and spending money are extra. We'd budget about $520 for spending over the 2 days.

Typical highs are 59–62°F with lows near 44°F. Expect drizzle on Friday, Oct 30 and overcast skies Saturday and Sunday. Bring a rain jacket and warm layers for the Parkway.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for one good day. The flight lands at 10:59 PM Friday, so Saturday is your day for the Biltmore Estate or the Parkway, with bluegrass at night. Sunday has time for the River Arts District.

No. It's a domestic trip, you pay in US dollars and Asheville is on the same time as West Palm Beach.

Brookstone Lodge is $346 for the stay and comes with free cancellation. For a higher score and breakfast, the Hampton Inn & Suites Asheville Biltmore Area rates 9.1 from 522 reviews at $418, but it has no free cancellation.
