Why go now
$392 per person round trip, $783 for two, all-in when we checked. That's $140 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, 26% under the $532 top of the 12 offers we looked at. Prefer no stop? An F9 nonstop was $413 per person, and an AS nonstop was $526. The weekend forecast is clear all three days: highs of 89–93°F, lows of 75–77°F and a 0–1% chance of rain, so it's real beach weather in October. Pair the flight with Hotel Koxie at $346 for two nights and our rough budget comes to $1,650 for two, spending money included. You get a Friday evening, a full Saturday and a Sunday morning flight home. Prices move, so this is what we found, not a promise.
The kind of trip this is
This is a warm-weather city weekend with a beach on the side: tacos and market stalls, a museum or a studio tour, then sunset on the sand. It suits a couple or two friends who want a quick change of scene without changing time zones. Expect a busy pace, since you've got one full day plus a Friday evening, so pick one area and one big outing.

Where to stay in Los Angeles
Hotel Koxie is the best-value pick: $346 for the 2 nights ($173 a night) for a Queen Room with Two Queen Beds. It scores 7.7 from 744 reviews and sits in Koreatown. The Westin Los Angeles Airport is the top-rated option at $441 for the stay ($221 a night), a 4-star hotel scoring 8.5 from 2,051 reviews, handy for the 7:38 AM Sunday flight out of LAX. The Olympic Suites LA, our budget pick, is $359 ($180 a night) for a Quadruple Room with Garden View, with a 7.7 from 151 reviews, also in Koreatown. All three are room only with free cancellation. If you'd rather spend on location, Santa Monica has the beach, the pier and walkable streets, and Downtown LA puts you near the Arts District, the Broad and Grand Central Market.
