The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Southwest, one stop, 7h 30m, landing 9:05 PM on Saturday
- Typical highs 67–76°F, with clear days at the start
- Free cancellation on all three stays, from $63 a night
The catch: There's no nonstop: the outbound has one stop and takes 7h 30m, and a checked bag is about $140 for two, not in the total.
Worth it if you want a mild week of beaches, museums and tacos; skip it if you only fly nonstop.
Worth it if a one-stop flight doesn't bother you: $1,712 for two, which is the flights at $716 plus the hotel at $996, taxes and fees included. That's Nov 14–21, 2026, 7 nights, on Southwest with one stop, leaving Buffalo at 4:35 PM and landing at LAX at 9:05 PM. A checked bag and spending money aren't included.

Why now
At $358 per person, the Southwest fare is the lowest of our 2 checks on this route in the past 30 days, and for two it comes to $716. We picked Los Angeles because it's 7h 30m with one stop, while getting to Phoenix takes 18h 33m for $345. In mid-November, LA's typical highs run 67–76°F with lows near 50°F. The normals show clear days at the start and overcast skies after that, which is good weather for walking, hiking and museums. The rainy-season note covers January and February, so these dates come before it. Add the best-value stay at $996 for 7 nights and the trip is $1,712 for two, all in, and the hotel has free cancellation. These are the prices 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. Los Angeles has studio tours, the Getty Center, taco stands and a bike ride along the coast, and Disneyland is a day trip away. It suits a couple or two friends who like to plan one big thing a day and leave the rest loose. Seven nights leaves room for slow mornings and a long day out.
