Why now
We found the fare at $350 per person, $699 for two, nonstop. That's $7 above the $343 median of our 11 earlier checks on this route, or 2% higher, and those same checks found it as low as $280 per person on Oct 12. So lower fares have turned up on this route recently. The weather is the strong part. The forecast for Oct 23–25 shows clear skies Friday and Saturday, highs from 75°F to 84°F and rain chances of 5%, 2% and 0%. October also falls outside the January and February rainy season. If your dates can't move, this still works as a sunny weekend 228 miles from home. If they can, we'd keep an eye on the fare before you commit. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
A quick city-and-beach weekend: a bike ride along the sand, a museum or a hilltop view, and plenty of eating. It suits two friends, or a couple who don't mind sharing a dorm, who are happy with a brisk pace. You get two full days on the ground and a late Sunday flight home. Pick one or two neighborhoods instead of trying to see all of LA.
