Los Angeles from Charlotte, Nov 14–21: $1,428 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs of 67–76°F for the week, lows near 50°F
- $345 per person, $6 under the typical $351 on this route
- Venice Beach stay rated 8.3 from 3,192 reviews, breakfast included
The catch: One stop on Frontier, 14h 46m out, the value pick is two beds in an 8-bed mixed dorm, and checked bags add about $240 for two.
Worth it if you travel light and don't mind a dorm near the beach; skip it if you want a private room or a nonstop.
Worth it if a dorm room is fine for the two of you. It's $1,428 for two: Frontier flights at $690, plus 7 nights at Samesun Venice Beach Hotel & Hostel at $656 and its $82 property fee, with taxes and fees included. The trip runs Nov 14–21, 2026, and it isn't nonstop: there's one stop and the trip out takes 14h 46m.

Why now
At $345 per person, the fare is $6 below the $351 median of our earlier checks on this route, about 2% under. That puts the week at $1,428 for two, covering the flights, the Venice Beach hostel and its $82 property fee. In mid-November, Los Angeles typically sees highs of 67–76°F and lows near 50°F. Normal weather for these dates is clear for the first three days and overcast after that, and the rainy-season note covers January and February, not November. Seven nights gives you time for the beach, the Getty and a day at Disneyland without rushing. Spending money isn't in the total. We'd plan on $130 per person a day, which comes to $1,820 for the week, or $3,166 for the whole trip. A checked bag is extra too, at about $240 for two.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-city week for a couple or two friends watching the budget. Your days start by the water in Venice and go out from there: a bike ride to Santa Monica Pier, a hike to the Griffith Observatory, tacos in Boyle Heights. The pace is easy, with mild days, breakfast at the hostel and a full week to fit in a museum or a theme park.
