The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $1,169 for two covers the flights and 7 nights, all in
- Fare is $96 per person below the highest we saw
- Highs of 67–76°F, and all three stays offer free cancellation
The catch: One stop makes the flight out 8h 37m on Frontier, and a checked bag is about $240 for two, which isn't in the total.
Worth it if you want a week of LA sights on a set budget; skip it if you need a nonstop or a private bathroom.
Worth it if you're fine with one stop and a basic room: $1,169 for two, which is the flights at $572 plus 7 nights at The Olympic Suites LA at $597, taxes and fees included. You fly Frontier with one stop, leaving Raleigh-Durham at 6:42 AM on Saturday, Nov 14 and landing at LAX at 12:19 PM, then come home Saturday, Nov 21, 2026. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $286 per person, the Frontier fare is $96 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 25% gap across the 12 offers we checked. Add 7 nights at The Olympic Suites LA for $597 and the trip comes to $1,169 for two, taxes and fees included. That's what we found when we checked, and prices move, so look again before you book. Mid-November suits a city week. Highs usually run 67–76°F with lows near 50°F. It tends to be clear early in the week and overcast later. LA's rainy-season note covers January and February, not November. You won't need a passport, you'll pay in US dollars, and LA is 3 hours behind Raleigh-Durham. That leaves a full week for Griffith Observatory, the Getty Center, a bike ride along the beach and a day at Disneyland.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city week with a beach day and a theme-park day built in: museums, studio lots, taco stands and the Pacific. It suits a couple or two friends who like to get around, mix big sights with long food stops and keep the room simple so more of the budget goes to the days. With 7 nights, you have room for both busy days and slow ones.
