Why now
$298 per person round trip is $25 below the typical fare on this route, which is $323, a drop of 8%. The fare also carries the Lowest in 30 days badge, and across the 12 offers we checked, prices ran from $298 to $469. The nonstop on Frontier leaves Las Vegas at 6:27 PM on Friday, Oct 23 and lands in San Diego at 7:49 PM, so you don't lose a workday. The forecast is clear all three days, with highs of 71°F, 69°F and 78°F and rain chances between 3% and 7%. That's good weather for a beach afternoon, a kayak trip or a full zoo day. Our rough weekend budget for two comes to $1,465: $596 in flights, $349 for the hotel and $520 for spending. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-city long weekend with good food. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want sun, tacos and a sunset without planning much. The pace is relaxed: a Friday-night arrival, one full Saturday for the zoo, the water or the Midway, and a slow Sunday on the coast before heading home.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
We found $298 per person round trip, or $596 for two, on a nonstop Frontier flight. That's $25 below the typical fare on this route. The outbound leaves at 6:27 PM on Friday, Oct 23 and lands at 7:49 PM.
Do I need a passport?
No. San Diego is in the United States, so you won't need a passport, you'll use US dollars and the clock doesn't change.
What is the weather like?
The forecast is clear for all three days. Highs are 71°F on Friday, 69°F on Saturday and 78°F on Sunday, lows are 65°F and rain chances run from 3% to 7%.
Is 2 nights enough?
For a getaway, yes. You'll land Friday evening, have all of Saturday for the zoo or La Jolla, and still get a Sunday on the beach. Since the flight is only 1h 22m, you won't spend much of the weekend traveling.
What does the whole weekend cost for two?
Our rough budget comes to $1,465 for two: $596 for flights, $349 at Hilton San Diego Mission Valley and $520 for spending, which works out to $130 per day.
Which hotel should I pick?
Go with Hilton San Diego Mission Valley ($349 for the stay, 7.9 score) for value, or Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark ($900, scoring 9) for a top-rated stay downtown. Wyndham Garden San Diego near SeaWorld is $350 and scores 6.8.
