Why go now
$400 per person round trip, or $799 for two, taxes and fees included when we checked. That's $10 under the $410 median of our 12 earlier checks on this route, about 2% less. It's a fair price, not a steal. Heads-up: one of those checks, on Oct 12, found $219, so this route moves around and we can't promise today's price will hold. The forecast is the real draw: highs of 80–83°F, lows of 66–69°F and a 3% chance of rain each day. Friday and Saturday look clear and Sunday looks overcast. Add two nights at Dunes Inn - Wilshire for $380 and our budget for two comes to $1,700, with $520 of spending money included. It works for a warm long weekend of beach, tacos and one big sight, with the flight home landing at 12:47 AM Monday.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-beach getaway with plenty of food. Mornings can go to a bike ride along the coast and afternoons to a museum or a studio lot. Evenings are for eating your way through Downtown LA. It suits a couple or two friends who like a full but loose schedule. With only two nights, pick one big outing, like Disneyland or the Getty Center, and keep everything else close to your hotel.
