Not worth it this week
- Clear forecast for all three days, highs 89–93°F
- H Hotel scores 7.9 from 1,140 reviews, free cancellation
- Fare is $438 per person against a typical $340
The catch: The Frontier fare has one stop, takes 6h 8m and lands at 12:29 AM, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you need to be in LA this weekend and pack light; skip it if you can pick another weekend.

Why now
We checked the fare 7 times on this route. The middle of those checks is $340 per person, and the lowest in the last 30 days was $282. This weekend's Frontier fare is $438 per person, or $876 for two, so you'd be paying more than usual for a one-stop flight that leaves at 8:21 PM Friday and lands at 12:29 AM. The weather is the strong part. All three days show clear skies, highs of 89–93°F and a 0% rain chance, so you'll get warm beach weather in mid-October. If you're set on these dates, the total of $1,332 for two buys you two full days in the city with a hotel you can cancel for free. If your dates can move, we'd hold off and check the next weekend.
The kind of trip this is
This is a fast city-and-beach weekend for two. You'll have one full day plus Sunday morning, so pick a side of town and stay there: the Santa Monica waterfront, or museums and food downtown. The pace is brisk because you'll land after midnight Friday. It suits a couple or two friends who like warm weather, tacos and a long walk.
