Why go now
$366 per person round trip, or $732 for two, all-in when we checked. That's the same as the median of our 9 earlier checks on this route, so it's a fair price, not a markdown. The lowest we saw was $225, on Oct 12. For that you get a Frontier nonstop leaving PDX at 11:06 AM on Friday, Oct 23 and landing at LAX at 1:33 PM. The flight home leaves at 7:38 AM on Sunday, Oct 25. The forecast shows highs of 80–83°F with a 0–3% chance of rain, so it's still beach weather in Los Angeles. Add the best-value hotel at $333 for the stay and a $520 spending budget, and the weekend comes to $1,585 for two. That's a fair price for a quick weekend of sun, tacos and one big LA outing.
The kind of trip this is
This is a quick city-and-beach weekend: one full day on the ground, warm evenings and a lot of eating. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who don't mind moving fast and picking one big thing, like Disneyland, the Getty or a bike ride along the coast. It's less of a fit for anyone who wants slow mornings, since the flight home leaves early on Sunday.
