Why go now
$94 per person round trip, nonstop, when this route usually runs $354. That's $260 below the typical fare on this route, or 73% less, and the fare has the Lowest in 30 days badge. We saw 12 offers, ranging from $94 to $285. For two, the flights come to $187 all-in. Early November is mild in LA, with typical highs of 72–77°F and lows near 52°F. That's warm enough for the bike path from Santa Monica Pier to Venice Beach and cool enough for the hike up to Griffith Observatory. You fly out Thursday evening and come back Monday afternoon, so it's a long weekend with room for tacos, a museum and maybe a Disneyland day. Prices include taxes and fees as of when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-beach getaway with a food streak running through it. It suits couples or a pair of friends who want a mix of museums, beach time and good cheap eats over a long weekend. The pace is easy: one big thing a day, like the Getty, a studio tour or Disneyland. Fill the rest with tacos, a sunset walk and an early night.
