The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if

- Sedona Village Lodge: 8.5 from 1,293 reviews, free cancellation, $148 a night

Worth it if you don't mind a late arrival: $1,112 for two covers the flights at $816 plus 2 nights at Sedona Village Lodge at $296, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Oct 16–18, 2026, on Frontier with one stop and 6h 50m of travel from Atlanta to Phoenix. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are not in the total.

Why now
The fare is $408 per person, $816 for two, which matches the $408 median of our earlier checks on this route, so you're paying the usual rate rather than a premium. Add 2 nights at Sedona Village Lodge for $296 and the trip comes to $1,112 for two, taxes and fees included; resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are extra. October is Sedona's peak season, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, and the forecast backs that up: highs of 71°F to 73°F, lows of 50°F to 54°F, overcast Friday and Saturday, and mostly clear Sunday with a 7% rain chance. That's comfortable trail weather for Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge, and the lodge comes with free cancellation if your plans change before you go.
The kind of trip this is
A short nature and wellness weekend in the desert: red-rock hikes in the morning, a jeep ride or some spa time in the afternoon, dark skies at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like to be outside and don't mind a quick pace, since Friday is mostly travel and Sunday is the trip home.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if a late arrival doesn't bother you. For $1,112 for two you get 2 nights in peak hiking season, highs of 71–73°F and an 8.5-rated lodge with free cancellation. The catch is the one-stop Frontier flight: 6h 50m of travel, landing at 11:48 PM.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,112, taxes and fees included: $816 for two round-trip Frontier fares ($408 per person) plus $296 for 2 nights at Sedona Village Lodge. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are not in it. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
Is there a nonstop?
Yes. American flies nonstop at 5:00 PM and lands at 6:11 PM after 4h 11m, for $597 per person, or $1,194 for two. It costs more, but you'd land before dinner instead of near midnight.
What is the weather like?
The forecast shows highs of 71°F, 72°F and 73°F with lows of 50–54°F. Friday and Saturday look overcast with 25% and 20% rain chances, and Sunday looks mostly clear at 7%.
Is 2 nights enough?
For one full day, yes. Friday is a travel day, so Saturday is for a hike plus Slide Rock or a Pink Jeep tour, and you get a few hours Sunday. We don't have the return flight times yet, so check them before you plan Sunday.
How do I get from the airport?
You fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), and Sedona is two hours north. With an 11:48 PM landing, plan for a late drive up on Friday night.
