The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $1,590 for two covers flights and 7 nights, taxes and fees in
- Cowboy Hideout apartment rated 9.6 from 19 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 55–66°F for hiking Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge
The catch: The $343 fare on MX + F9 has 2 stops and 25h 50m of travel; the Southwest one-stop is $754 for two.
Worth it if you want a hiking-and-stargazing week and can live with a long travel day; skip it if you need a quick, simple flight.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day: a week of red-rock hiking in peak season for $1,590 for two, the flights at $686 plus 7 nights at Cowboy Hideout at $904, taxes and fees included. It runs Nov 14–21, 2026, on MX + F9 into Phoenix, with 2 stops, not nonstop. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $343 per person, the fare sits right at the median of 6 earlier checks on this route, so it's 0% above where it usually lands. The lowest we saw was $305 on Oct 12, and it hasn't come back since. November is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, and the normals for these dates show highs of 55–66°F with lows near 39°F. That's cool enough to climb Cathedral Rock at midday and cold enough that you'll want a jacket for stargazing at night. The hotel side is where this trip earns its place: a one-bedroom apartment at $129 a night with free cancellation keeps the week at $1,590 for two before you go. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change. For a week of trails, scenic drives and quiet evenings, that's a fair price for peak season.
The kind of trip this is
A nature and wellness week in the desert: red-rock trails in the morning, a Jeep ride or a scenic drive in the afternoon, dark skies at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like being outdoors and don't need nightlife. Seven nights lets you take it slowly, with a hike most days and room for a spa afternoon or a day trip up to Flagstaff.

$1,590 for two, all in: flights at $686 ($343 per person) plus 7 nights at Cowboy Hideout at $904, taxes and fees included as we found them. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't included; we estimate $2,660 in spending for two.
Is there a shorter flight?
Yes. We found Southwest with 1 stop, leaving at 6:40 AM and taking 6h 20m, at $377 per person or $754 for two. That's the pick if you'd rather pay a little more and arrive by 11:00 AM.
