- $195 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates

The catch: A checked bag is about $160 for two and any resort fee isn't in the total, and Orange Tree Resort has no free cancellation.
Worth it if you want warm desert days, hikes and a pool-and-spa pace; skip it if you need a beach or blue skies every day.

Why now
When we checked, the Breeze nonstop was $273 per person, or $546 for two. That's $195 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, 42% less. Add 7 nights at Orange Tree Resort for $1,241 and the trip comes to $1,787 for two, taxes and fees included. A checked bag (about $160 for two), any resort fee and spending money come on top. Mid-November is a good fit for the desert, with typical highs of 71–81°F and lows near 53°F. That's warm enough for the pool and cool enough for a sunrise hike. It's also well ahead of February and March, when spring training and the Phoenix Open push resort rates to their peak. These prices are what we found when we checked and can move, so check the live fare before you decide.
The kind of trip this is
This is a warm-weather desert week at an easy pace. Mornings are for the trails around Camelback Mountain, afternoons for the pool or a spa, and evenings for the bars and restaurants of Old Town Scottsdale. It suits couples and friends who want sun, good food and a little nightlife without a passport. Seven nights leaves room for a few slow days.
