Los Angeles from Reno, Nov 19–23: $803 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Southwest nonstop, 1h 30m, leaving Reno at 9:35 AM
- $313 per person below the typical fare on this route
- Free cancellation at all three stays, highs of 68–77°F
The catch: A checked bag is about $140 for two and isn't in the $803, and the weather normals show overcast skies every day.
Worth it if you want a mild city-and-beach long weekend with a carry-on; skip it if you need clear blue skies every day.
Worth it for the two of you: $803 for two, all in, which is the Southwest nonstop at $234 plus 4 nights at the best-value apartment in Koreatown at $569, taxes and fees included but checked bags not. You fly out Thursday, Nov 19 at 9:35 AM, land at LAX at 11:05 AM after 1h 30m, and come home Monday, Nov 23, 2026.

Why now
$117 per person, $313 below the typical fare on this route, and tagged Lowest in 30 days on our checks. That's 73% under the $430 median of 15 earlier checks, and the fares we saw ran from $117 to $223. The nonstop takes 1h 30m, so you land at LAX at 11:05 AM Thursday with most of the day left. Late November in Los Angeles brings typical highs of 68–77°F and lows near 49°F, mild enough for a bike ride along the beach or the hike up to Griffith Observatory. The rainy-season note covers January and February, not these dates. Add the best-value apartment and the trip comes to $803 for two before you go; our full estimate is $1,843 once you add $130 a day per person for spending money. Prices are as we found them and can change.
The kind of trip this is
A city getaway with a bit of beach mixed in: tacos and market stalls, a studio tour or a day at Disneyland, a museum on a hill and a ride along the sand. It suits a couple or two friends who like to stay busy, with a short flight that keeps the pace easy at both ends of the trip. Plan one big day per side of town and skip the rush.
