Why now
At $390 per person, the Southwest fare is $141 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's 27% under the top fare. For two, the flights come to $780. Add 7 nights at The Olympic Suites LA and the trip is $1,377 for two, all in, with taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't part of it. Mid-November is a comfortable time for Los Angeles: typical highs run 67–76°F with lows near 50°F, and the first three days look clear before it turns overcast. The rainy-season note covers January and February, not your week. Seven nights gives you time for Disneyland, the Getty and a beach day. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-beach week at an easy pace. You could spend mornings at the Getty Center or up at Griffith Observatory, afternoons biking from Santa Monica Pier to Venice Beach, and evenings at taco stands. It suits a couple or two friends who like to plan their own days, want mild weather more than a resort, and would rather put their money into the city than into the room.
