Why go now
The fare is $619 per person round trip, or $1,238 for two, on American with one stop, all-in when we checked. One heads-up on that number: the median of our 9 earlier checks on this route is $589, so this fare is a bit above it, and the lowest we saw in the past month was $331. What you get for it is a clear late-October weekend. The forecast shows highs of 80–83°F, lows of 66–69°F and little rain. Add Dunes Inn - Wilshire at $380 for two nights and plan on $130 per person a day, and the whole trip comes to $2,138 for two. That works for a beach-and-tacos long weekend, an afternoon at the Getty or a day at Disneyland, and you don't need a passport.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-beach weekend with a food streak: museums in the morning, the ocean in the afternoon and tacos for dinner. It suits a couple or two friends who like to pick one or two big things a day and leave room to wander. With only 2 nights, the pace is quick, so pick one side of town and stay there.
