The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Typical highs of 71–81°F and lows near 53°F for mid-November hikes
- $247 per person, $182 below the highest fare we saw
- La Quinta in North Scottsdale: 8.3 from 1,060 reviews, breakfast, free cancellation
The catch: Frontier's fare has one stop and takes 27h 3m, landing at 12:55 PM the next day; resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if you'd trade one long travel day for a week of 71–81°F desert days; skip it if every vacation day counts.
Worth it if you can live with a long connection: the trip for two is $1,491, which is the Frontier flights at $494 plus 7 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Phoenix Scottsdale at $997, taxes and fees included. It runs Nov 14–21, 2026, and the outbound isn't nonstop: one stop, 27h 3m, landing Sunday, Nov 15 at 12:55 PM. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in the total.

Why now
The fare is $247 per person, $182 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 42% gap across the 12 offers we checked. That puts flights at $494 for two and the whole week at $1,491 with the best-value hotel, taxes and fees included when we checked. Mid-November sits between the peak February and March resort rates and the extreme summer heat, with typical highs of 71–81°F and lows near 53°F, which is the right weather for a sunrise hike up Camelback Mountain and an afternoon at the Desert Botanical Garden. There's no passport to sort out, you'll spend the same dollars, and Phoenix runs 2 hours behind Charlotte, so early mornings come easy. It's a full week, enough to get over the long flight and still have six slow days. Prices move, and we can't promise this one holds.
The kind of trip this is
A desert reset week: a sunrise hike, a spa day, a morning at Taliesin West, and dinners in Old Town Scottsdale's walkable stretch of galleries, bars and restaurants. It suits couples and friends who want warm days without summer heat and don't need a packed itinerary. The pace is easy, with room to do one thing a day and call it a good one.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if the long outbound doesn't bother you. You get a week of typical highs of 71–81°F and a hotel rated 8.3 with breakfast for $1,491 for two. If losing most of a day to a 27h 3m trip feels like too much, look at the nonstop instead.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,491 all in: $494 for the Frontier flights ($247 per person) plus $997 for 7 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Phoenix Scottsdale, taxes and fees included when we checked. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are extra; we'd set aside $130 per person a day.
Is there a nonstop?
Yes. American flies nonstop in 4h 47m, leaving at 7:19 AM and landing at 10:06 AM on Nov 14, for $429 per person, or $858 for two. That's $182 more per person than the Frontier fare.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) to Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), and you'll pay in US dollars.
What's the weather like in mid-November?
Typical highs run 71–81°F with lows near 53°F this time of year. Those are seasonal normals, not a forecast, so pack a layer for the cooler evenings.
Is 7 nights enough?
Yes. With the Frontier flight landing at 12:55 PM on Nov 15, you still have six full days for hikes, Taliesin West, the Desert Botanical Garden and a spa day.
