The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $224 per person, $279 below the typical fare on this route
- Cowboy Hideout apartment, 9.6 from 19 reviews, free cancellation
- Hiking weather, with highs of 55–66°F for Cathedral Rock and Devil's Bridge
The catch: Frontier's fare has one stop and takes 6h 51m on the way out, Sedona is two hours from Phoenix, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you want a week of hiking in mild weather at a fair price; skip it if you need a nonstop or hate long travel days.
Worth it if you don't mind a stop. The trip is $1,467 for two, all in: Frontier flights at $448, plus Cowboy Hideout at $904 and its $115 property fee, with taxes and fees included. That covers 7 nights, Nov 14–21, 2026, flying Indianapolis to Phoenix with one stop (6h 51m on the way out), and it doesn't include checked bags or spending money.

Why now
The fare is $224 per person, which is $279 below the typical fare on this route. That's 55% under the $503 median of our earlier checks, and it's the lowest fare we've seen in 30 days. Mid-November is Sedona's peak season, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest hotel rates, so a $129-a-night apartment rated 9.6 matters here. Typical highs run 55–66°F, with lows near 39°F. That's cool enough to hike Cathedral Rock at midday, and cold enough after dark that you'll want a jacket for stargazing. Seven nights gives you room for the long trails, a day up Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff and a slow morning or two. All prices are all in, as we found them when we checked, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature week built around red rock: trails in the morning, a jeep ride over slickrock, a stop at the chapel and dark skies at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk a lot, and you set the pace yourself. Sedona leans toward wellness and romance too, so a slow spa afternoon fits in fine between hikes.
