Sedona from Chicago, 14 – 21 Nov: £1,001 for two, all in
This page’s text is in English for now; a translation is on its way.
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $116 below the typical fare on this route, at $212 per person
- Cowboy Hideout scores 9.6 from 19 reviews, with free cancellation
- Highs of 55–66°F for hiking Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge
The catch: The Frontier flight has one stop and takes 10h 47m to Phoenix, Sedona is two hours north, and resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if you want a week of red-rock hiking at a low fare; skip it if a 10h 47m flight with a stop is a dealbreaker.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day: $1,328 for two, all in, which is the Frontier flights at $424 plus 7 nights at Cowboy Hideout at $904, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Nov 14–21, 2026, leaving O'Hare at 6:30 AM. It isn't nonstop: there's one stop and 10h 47m of travel to Phoenix, landing at 4:17 PM.

Why now
At $212 per person, the Frontier fare is $116 below the typical fare on this route. That's a 35% gap, and it's the lowest fare we've seen in 30 days. Across the 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $212 to $277 per person. That matters in November, which is peak season in Sedona: the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates. Typical highs for your week run 55–66°F with lows near 39°F, so trail mornings start cool and afternoons stay comfortable for Cathedral Rock or a Pink Jeep tour. Add Cowboy Hideout at $904 for 7 nights and the trip comes to $1,328 for two, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that number. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature week: red-rock trails in the morning, a long lunch, then a spa or a gallery stroll in the afternoon and dark skies at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like to hike at their own pace and would take quiet over nightlife. Seven nights leaves room to mix big hikes with slow days and a drive up Oak Creek Canyon.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if you're fine with a long travel day. The fare is 35% under the typical fare on this route and the hotel scores 9.6. The trade-off is one stop and 10h 47m of travel, then two hours from Phoenix to Sedona.

$1,328 for two, all in: $424 for the Frontier flights ($212 per person) plus $904 for 7 nights at Cowboy Hideout, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in it.
Do I need a passport?
No. Sedona is in Arizona, so there's no passport needed and you'll pay in US dollars. The clock runs 1 hour behind Chicago.
What is the weather like?
Typical highs for Nov 14–21 run 55–66°F, with lows near 39°F. Most days lean overcast in the normals, with Friday, Nov 20 showing clear. That's good hiking weather, but pack layers for cold mornings and nights.
