Los Angeles from Lyon, Nov 14–23: $1,935 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $694 per person, $245 below the highest fare we saw
- Typical highs of 67–77°F for beach and city days in November
- Free cancellation at all three hotels; best value is $55 a night
The catch: The KLM fare has one stop and 14h 30m of travel on the way out, and a checked bag is about $160 for two on top.
Worth it if you want nine mild days of beaches, museums and tacos; skip it if a 14h 30m connecting flight is a dealbreaker.
Worth it if you don't mind a connection. $1,935 for two covers round-trip KLM flights at $1,388, the hotel at $493 and its $54 property fee, with taxes and fees included. You'd go Nov 14–23, 2026, for nine nights in Los Angeles, with one stop and 14h 30m of travel out of Lyon.

Why now
At $694 per person, the KLM fare is $245 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. Fares for this trip ran up to $939, a 26% gap across the 12 offers we checked. Air France at $703 and British Airways with American at $700 came in just above it, so this isn't one airline's odd price. Mid-November is a good window for Los Angeles, with typical highs of 67–77°F and lows near 50°F. That's warm enough for a bike ride along the beach and cool enough for the hike up to Griffith Observatory. The rainy-season note covers January and February, not your dates. Nine nights leaves room for Disneyland, the Getty Center and a few slow food days without rushing. Prices are all in as we found them and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a big-city vacation with a beach on the edge: museums, studio tours, a theme park and taco stands, spread over nine nights. It suits a couple or two friends who like mixing full days with slow ones and don't mind getting around a spread-out city. You set the pace, say Disneyland one day and an easy beach bike ride the next.
