The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $364 per person, $19 below the typical fare on this route
- Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona: 8.8 from 868 reviews, free cancellation
- Hiking weather, with highs of 56–66°F and lows near 40°F
The catch: The trip out has 2 stops and takes 35h 5m, landing Saturday, Nov 14 at 8:54 PM, and a checked bag is about $200 for two.
Worth it if you can trade a long first day for red-rock hiking weather; skip it if you can't give up most of a day to travel.
Worth it if you can live with a long trip out: $1,619 for two, all in, covers the flights at $727 plus Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona at $842 and its $50 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. You'd go Nov 13–18, 2026, for 5 nights, flying G4 + F9 from Albany to Phoenix with 2 stops, so it isn't nonstop. A checked bag and spending money aren't in the total.

Why now
At $364 per person, the fare is $19 below the typical fare on this route. That's 5% under the $383 median of our earlier checks, and the fares we saw for these dates ran from $364 to $412. November is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, so 5 nights for $842 at a hotel rated 8.8 is a good find. The usual weather for these dates is highs of 56–66°F and lows near 40°F, mostly overcast, which is comfortable for the trails at Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge. The trade-off is the flight out: 2 stops and 35h 5m. If that's too much, we also found a United fare with 1 stop and 10h 14m of travel for $782 for two. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature-and-wellness getaway: red-rock trails in the morning, a spa or a slow lunch in the afternoon and dark skies at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like to hike at their own pace and don't need nightlife. The days are cool and mostly gray, so this is a long-walks trip rather than a pool trip. Sedona is two hours north of Phoenix, where you land.
