Tweak this trip
Why now
At $809 per person, the round-trip fare is $167 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's a 17% gap across the 12 offers we checked. The two of you fly for $1,617, and with 9 nights at the best-value apartment the trip comes to $2,950 for two, taxes and fees included, as found when we checked. In mid-November, Los Angeles sees highs of 67–77°F and lows near 50°F, with clear skies to start and overcast days later in the week. That's good weather for the Griffith Observatory hike or a bike ride along the coast. The rainy-season note covers January and February, so these dates fall outside it. Spending money isn't in the total, and we budget $2,340 for two over 9 days. Prices move, so check the live fare before you commit.
The kind of trip this is
This is a long city-and-beach vacation for two with time to spread out. Nine nights is enough for a Disneyland day, a studio tour, the Getty and slow afternoons by the Pacific. It suits couples or friends who like to mix food, museums and the coast at an easy pace, with days off between the big outings to rest after the long trip over.
