The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Clear forecast, highs 66–72°F, rain chance 6% or less
- Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona: 8.8 from 867 reviews, free cancellation
- $446 per person, $239 below the highest fare we saw for these dates
The catch: The $446 Frontier fare takes 29h 23m with 1 stop and lands in Phoenix Saturday at 8:42 PM, two hours from Sedona.
Worth it if you can take the Southwest or Delta flight at $665 per person; skip this weekend if only the $446 fare works for you.
Not worth it this week: the trip comes to $1,454 for two, which is the flights at $892 plus the Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona at $562, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total. The trip runs Oct 23–25, 2026, for 2 nights, but the Frontier fare has 1 stop and leaves Friday at 6:19 PM, so you don't land in Phoenix until Saturday at 8:42 PM.

Why now
At $446 per person, the fare is $239 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, or 35% less, across the 12 offers we checked. Late October is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates. The forecast agrees: clear skies, highs of 66–72°F, lows of 45–48°F and a rain chance of 6% or less. The problem is the timing. That fare lands in Phoenix at 8:42 PM on Saturday, Oct 24, so you'd get one night and a Sunday morning before heading home. The Southwest flight at $665 per person takes 5h 45m and lands Friday at 6:25 PM, but it raises the flights to $1,330 for two. For a two-night weekend, we'd wait for a better schedule or plan more nights.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature weekend: red-rock buttes, trail hikes, spa time and dark skies at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like an early start on the trail and a slow evening, with mornings near 45°F and mild afternoons. Once you're there, the pace is easy. On this fare, getting there is the hard part.
