Phoenix & Scottsdale from Dallas-Fort Worth, 14 – 21 Nov: £965 for two, all in

This page’s text is in English for now; a translation is on its way.

The verdict

IT’S WORTH IT ★ IT’S WORTH IT ★

Our verdict

Worth it, because

  • Frontier nonstop from DFW, leaving 9:41 AM and landing 11:31 AM
  • Typical highs of 71–81°F all week, with lows near 53°F
  • Walk to Old Town Scottsdale scores 8.8 from 26 reviews, free cancellation

The catch: A checked bag is about $240 for two on Frontier and isn't in the total, and neither is any resort fee the hotel may charge.

Worth it if you want a week of mild desert sun, hikes and good dinners; skip it if you need a big full-service resort on a tight budget.

Worth it for the two of you: a full desert week for $1,280, which covers the flights at $316 plus the apartment at $964, taxes and fees included. You'd go Nov 14–21, 2026, for 7 nights, flying nonstop on Frontier from DFW to Phoenix. A checked bag, any resort fee and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now

$158 per person round trip, $316 for two, nonstop, for a full 7-night week. That fare is the lowest of the 2 checks we've run on this route so far, though we don't have enough history yet to call any price typical. Add the $964 apartment and the trip is $1,280 for two before you go, taxes and fees included, as found when we checked; prices move and we can't promise it will hold. Mid-November is a sweet spot in the desert: typical highs run 71–81°F with lows near 53°F, so sunrise hikes and patio dinners both work. It's well past the summer heat and well ahead of the February and March spring training rush, when resort rates peak. With a 9:41 AM departure you land at 11:31 AM local time and get the whole first afternoon.

The kind of trip this is

A desert-and-wellness week with a food and nightlife streak. Mornings go to trail hikes and gardens, afternoons to a pool or a spa, evenings to Old Town Scottsdale's galleries, bars and restaurants. It suits a couple or two friends who like an easy pace with a few early starts, and who'd rather spend a week in the sun than squeeze everything into a long weekend.

Questions readers ask

Is it worth it?

Yes, for the two of you. It's $1,280 for two all in for a nonstop and 7 nights, the weather runs 71–81°F, and the stay has free cancellation. The main catch is a checked bag at about $240 for two.

Typical highs run 71–81°F with lows near 53°F for Nov 14–21. The normals show a clear first day at 81°F and mostly overcast days after that, which still works for hiking.
