Why go now
$438 per person round trip, or $876 for two, all-in when we checked. Here's the straight version: that's above the $340 median from our earlier checks on this route, and the low over the last 30 days was $282. So this isn't a markdown. It's the best value we priced for this weekend, and it gets you a full Saturday and Sunday in LA. The forecast for Oct 16–18 is clear every day, with highs of 89–93°F, lows of 75–77°F and no rain expected. That's beach weather for Santa Monica and good weather for the Griffith Observatory. Budget about $1,852 for two in total: $876 for flights, $456 for the best-value hotel and $520 for spending. If you're fine with a late Friday arrival, this is an easy warm-weather getaway at short notice.
The kind of trip this is
A fast-paced city-and-beach long weekend. You can split two full days between the Pacific, a studio tour or Disneyland, and a lot of tacos. It suits couples and friends who like to pack things in, since there's more to do than time to do it. Pick one area as a base and don't try to cover the whole city. With clear skies in the forecast, this is a weekend to spend outdoors.

Where to stay in Los Angeles
H Hotel Los Angeles, Curio Collection By Hilton is the best-value pick: $456 for the stay ($228 a night) for a Deluxe King Room, with a 7.9 review score from 1,140 reviews. The top-rated option is The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles in Downtown LA, at $986 for the stay ($493 a night) and an 8.5 score from 2,453 reviews. Downtown LA works well if you want the Arts District, the Broad museum and Grand Central Market close by.
