10 Best International Flight Deals From Los Angeles in November 2026

Amsterdam and Paris dominate the relative-value side of the table. Both are well below their typical fares, and both arrive as the cities move into their winter cultural and festive calendars.

Mexico City tells the opposite story. The percentage difference is smaller, but $265 return is the lowest ticket in the final ten by a wide margin. Sometimes the absolute fare matters more than the discount percentage.

The long-haul choices are more selective. Manila, Beijing and Dubai earn their places for different reasons: dry-season timing in the Philippines, an unusually affordable China fare, and November weather in Dubai that finally makes long periods outdoors comfortable.

1. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam has the largest relative saving in the Los Angeles snapshot. The $431 return fare is 43% below a typical price of about $758, a difference of more than $300.

The dates make it considerably more interesting. Amsterdam Light Festival begins on November 26 in 2026, two days before this trip starts, and runs through the canals during every night of the stay. The Museumplein ice rink is also scheduled to be open from November 24. Short daylight is therefore less of a drawback than it might first appear because much of the seasonal appeal begins after dark.

Late November and early December are cold, damp and unmistakably winter-like. This is not a substitute for an April canal trip. It works better as a museum, café, neighbourhood and evening-light itinerary where weather-resistant plans are built in from the start.

Seven nights also give you enough room to leave Amsterdam for a day without rushing the city itself. Haarlem, Utrecht or another short rail trip can fit naturally.

Best for: winter culture, museums and Amsterdam Light Festival at an unusually low transatlantic fare.

2. Paris, France

Paris combines the second-largest percentage difference in the Top 10 with unusually good seasonal timing. At $493 return, the fare is about 38% below a typical price near $794.

By the November 27 arrival, the Champs-Élysées Christmas lights are already operating, Paris La Défense is illuminated for the season and Christmas markets begin appearing around the city from late November. This is no longer merely an off-season Paris fare. The itinerary crosses directly into the opening phase of the festive calendar.

That does not guarantee picturesque winter weather. November and early December can be cold, grey and wet, with short daylight. Paris handles those conditions better than destinations that depend heavily on beaches or outdoor scenery: museums, restaurants, covered passages and neighbourhood cafés remain central to the trip regardless.

Six nights are enough to avoid reducing Paris to its headline landmarks while still keeping the trip compact.

Best for: a lower-priced Paris trip that catches the beginning of the Christmas season.

3. Mexico City, Mexico

Mexico City has the lowest ticket price in the final ten by a substantial margin. $265 return is about 16% below a typical fare around $316, but the absolute number is more important than the percentage.

The city's official tourism guidance places October through April inside the dry period. November through February are its cooler months, with temperatures roughly ranging from 5°C to 21°C. That makes the November 30 departure especially practical for walking through neighbourhoods, archaeological sites and large museums without the heavier summer rains.

Altitude is the detail easy to underestimate. Mexico City sits more than 2,200 metres above sea level, so mornings and evenings can feel much cooler than travelers expecting generic "Mexico weather" might assume.

A full week also creates room beyond Roma, Condesa, Centro Histórico and Chapultepec. Teotihuacan is the obvious day trip, while the food scene alone can justify deliberately leaving empty space in the itinerary.

Best for: an exceptionally cheap international city break built around food, museums and neighbourhood exploration.

4. Beijing, China

Beijing at $569 return is about 22% below a typical fare near $730. For a Los Angeles to China itinerary, the absolute price is strong enough to compensate for the relatively short five-night stay.

The dates matter. Beijing moves rapidly from late autumn into winter during November. Official meteorological reporting in recent years has put early-November daytime temperatures around 10°C to the mid-teens before stronger cold fronts arrive later in the month. Autumn foliage can also remain visible around the beginning of November, although exact timing varies from year to year.

Five nights make this the most compressed trip in the Top 10. The sensible approach is to stay focused: central Beijing, the Forbidden City area, hutongs and one carefully chosen Great Wall day rather than trying to combine Beijing with another Chinese city.

November also falls into off-season operating schedules at a number of Beijing attractions, which can mean shorter opening hours. That makes advance planning more important than during summer.

Best for: travelers who want China at a notably low fare and are comfortable with a focused five-night itinerary.

5. Warsaw, Poland

Warsaw at $469 return is about 22% below a typical price near $602, making it one of the cheapest European long-haul fares in the Los Angeles dataset.

The November 27 to December 6 window sits right on the transition into Warsaw's winter season. Temperatures are cold, daylight is limited and outdoor sightseeing needs to be balanced with museums, restaurants and cafés. Previous Christmas-market calendars have also started in late November, although exact 2026 market dates should be checked before building the entire trip around them.

Nine nights would be excessive if Warsaw were the only objective. They make far more sense when the fare becomes the entry point to Poland. Kraków is an obvious rail addition, while other cities can turn this into a wider itinerary without buying another international ticket.

One practical detail matters in Poland: most Sundays are non-trading Sundays. December 6 is listed as a trading Sunday in 2026, but travelers should still expect different shopping patterns than in the U.S.

Best for: a low-cost entry point to Poland with enough time to build a two-city trip.

6. Istanbul, Türkiye

Istanbul at $650 return is around 18% below a typical fare of about $794. The saving is respectable, but nine nights and the November timing are what make the fare more useful.

Autumn is generally one of Istanbul's milder travel seasons before winter settles in. By the second half of November, cooler temperatures and rain become more likely, so this is not a late-summer Bosphorus trip disguised by a cheap ticket.

The upside is that Istanbul does not depend on beach weather. Mosques, palaces, bazaars, restaurants, hammams and contemporary museums keep the itinerary dense even when an afternoon turns wet. The official 2026 cultural calendar also shows major performances continuing into this period, including events at the Atatürk Cultural Centre during these dates.

Nine nights are enough to move beyond Sultanahmet and spend meaningful time on both the European and Asian sides without constantly changing accommodation.

Best for: food, history and a slower Istanbul trip where cooler weather is an acceptable trade-off.

7. Manila, Philippines

The $607 Manila fare is around 16% below a typical price near $721, and November gives it a stronger seasonal case than the percentage alone suggests.

Philippine tourism guidance treats November through April as the dry season for much of the country, with calmer seas and less rain than the monsoon months. November is therefore the point when island-hopping and beach extensions begin to become more predictable again.

That does not mean Manila should automatically occupy all seven nights. The city can support several days of food, history and neighbourhood exploration, but the broader value is access to the Philippines. A domestic connection can transform the trip into something completely different.

Seven nights are just enough to do that, but only if the itinerary remains simple. Adding multiple islands would turn a good fare into a week dominated by airports and transfers.

Best for: travelers who want Manila plus one carefully chosen Philippine extension as the dry season begins.

8. Lima, Peru

Lima is not the cheapest long-haul fare here, but $647 return is about 16% below a typical price near $769 and the dates arrive during Peru's transition toward the warmer coastal season.

Lima's appeal is less about conventional sightseeing density and more about how several different experiences overlap. Miraflores and Barranco put oceanfront walking, restaurants, bars and cultural stops within a relatively compact part of the city, while Peru's official tourism site places particular emphasis on Lima's culinary identity.

November is also when the heavy winter garúa begins easing as the city moves toward summer. Conditions can still be cloudy, so travelers expecting consistently blue Pacific skies may be disappointed.

Six nights are enough for Lima itself and perhaps one nearby excursion. They are not enough to bolt on Cusco and Machu Picchu without turning the trip into a much more complicated domestic itinerary.

Best for: food-focused travelers who want a compact first trip to Peru without forcing in the Andes.

9. Bridgetown, Barbados

Bridgetown at $523 return is about 17% below a typical fare near $633 and gives Los Angeles one of the few genuinely tropical options in the final ten.

November still belongs to Barbados' wetter half of the year. The island's tourism authority describes the northern-hemisphere summer and autumn as the wetter season, while the dry season follows in winter and spring. Sea temperatures remain warm year-round, and showers do not automatically mean entire days are lost.

That trade-off is important. A cheaper November fare is not equivalent to booking the same island in February. Travelers prioritizing uninterrupted beach weather may prefer to pay more later. Those comfortable with some rainfall can access the island before the peak winter period.

Six nights are enough to combine beach time with Bridgetown, restaurants and a broader look at the island without constantly moving accommodation.

Best for: warm Caribbean weather at a lower fare for travelers willing to accept some wet-season uncertainty.

10. Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai has the smallest percentage difference in the Top 10, but November is exactly why it survives the cut.

The $786 return fare is around 11% below a typical price near $880. That is not a dramatic markdown, but official Dubai tourism guidance puts average November temperatures around 27°C, with typical lows near 24°C and highs around 30°C. Humidity falls relative to summer and the Gulf remains warm.

For this destination, that changes the value of the trip more than another ten percentage points of airfare savings might. Beaches, the Creek, outdoor restaurants and a desert excursion can all become normal daytime plans instead of activities organized around oppressive heat.

Six nights are sufficient for a first Dubai trip. The bigger budget warning comes after landing: hotel level, restaurants and paid attractions can overwhelm the airfare saving quickly.

Best for: reliable November warmth and a short long-haul trip where outdoor conditions matter.

Which international flight deal from Los Angeles should you choose in November?

The strongest choice depends on what you want the fare to accomplish.

• For the biggest relative bargain: Amsterdam at 43% below typical.
• For festive Europe: Paris or Amsterdam.
• For the cheapest ticket overall: Mexico City at $265.
• For China: Beijing at $569.
• For a wider European itinerary: Warsaw.
• For food and history: Istanbul.
• For Southeast Asia: Manila.
• For South America: Lima.
• For a Caribbean escape: Bridgetown.
• For the most reliable warm weather: Dubai.

There is no single number that defines the best fare.

Amsterdam saves more than $300 against its typical price and arrives just after the Light Festival begins. Mexico City saves much less in percentage terms but costs only $265 return. Dubai is only 11% below typical, yet the dates land in one of the periods when weather makes the destination substantially more usable.

That is why we treat the percentage as one signal, not the ranking itself.
