Why go now
$314 per person round trip, or $627 for two, on a nonstop from DCA to LAX. That's $9 under the $323 median of our five earlier checks on this route, 3% less. It isn't a record low, though: one of those checks found $293 in the last 30 days, so this is a fair price, not a rock-bottom one. Mid-November is a good time to go. Typical highs run 67–76°F with lows near 50°F, and the first days look clear before they turn overcast. That's warm enough for a bike ride along the beach and comfortable for the walk up to Griffith Observatory or a long day at Disneyland. With 7 nights you can split the week between the coast, the city and a theme park without rushing. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a week-long city-and-beach vacation with room for a theme park day and a lot of eating. It suits couples or two friends who like to pair a museum morning with a taco crawl, and families can fit in Disneyland too. The pace is easy: one big thing a day, with the rest left for the beach, the market or a long lunch.
