The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $718 per person, $482 below the highest fare we saw
- Typical highs of 67–77°F and lows near 50°F for these dates
- Free cancellation at all three stays, Koreatown pick rated 7.8
The catch: One stop and 16 hours on the way out with Lufthansa, and a checked bag is about $160 for two on top of the total.
Worth it if a 16-hour trip with one stop is fine for nine mild November nights; skip it if you only fly nonstop.
Worth it if you can sit through one stop: $2,769 for two, all in, covering Lufthansa flights at $1,436, 9 nights at the Koreatown apartment at $1,183 and its $150 property fee, with taxes and fees included and checked bags extra. The trip runs Nov 14–23, 2026, nine nights. You leave Marseille at 8:15 AM on Saturday, Nov 14 and land at LAX at 3:15 PM, 16 hours later with one stop.

Tweak this trip
Why now
Numbers first: the Lufthansa fare is $718 per person, $1,436 for two. That's $482 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 40% gap. Fares ran from $718 to $1,200 across the 12 offers we checked. Add 9 nights in Koreatown at $1,183 plus a $150 property fee and the whole trip comes to $2,769 for two before you go, taxes and fees included, as found when we checked. Mid-November is a good window. Typical highs run 67–77°F with lows near 50°F, warm enough for the Santa Monica bike ride and cool enough for the Griffith Observatory hike. The January and February rainy season is still weeks off. Nine nights gives you time for Disneyland, the Getty and a few slow taco days without rushing any of them.
The kind of trip this is
This is a big-city vacation with a beach on one side and theme parks on the other: studio tours, museums, taco stands and a pier you can bike from. It suits a couple or two friends who like to mix full days out with easy ones, and nine nights lets you take it slowly. Plan for some driving or rides between neighborhoods, since the sights are spread out.
