Why now
$287 per person round trip, $574 for two, including taxes and fees at the time we checked. That's $130 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 31% gap across the 12 offers we compared. For mid-November, the weather normals show highs of 67–76°F and lows near 50°F. That's warm enough for an afternoon on the bike path at Santa Monica and cool enough for the hike up to Griffith Observatory. Our sample budget for two comes to $2,991: $574 for flights, $597 for the room and $1,820 for spending, which works out to $130 per person a day. You get a full week of beach, food, museums and a Disneyland day for less than many people spend on a long weekend. Prices change, so check the live fare before you commit.
The kind of trip this is
This is a big-city week with a beach attached. You can spend mornings on museums or studio tours, afternoons on the coast and evenings in taco lines. It suits couples and friends who like a loose plan and don't mind covering ground. Seven nights lets you go at an easy pace, with one area a day and a spare day for Disneyland or a long lunch at Grand Central Market.
