The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs of 71–81°F in Scottsdale for the week of Nov 14
- Orange Tree Resort: 9.1 from 284 reviews, a one-bedroom suite
- $215 per person, $268 below the highest fare we saw
The catch: Frontier's fare has one stop, 4h 59m, landing at 12:42 AM; a checked bag is about $240 for two and isn't in the total.
Worth it if you want a week of warm desert sun at an easy pace; skip it if a late-night connection would wreck your first day.
Worth it if you don't mind a stop and a late arrival: $1,671 for two covers the Frontier flights at $430 and 7 nights at Orange Tree Resort at $1,241, with taxes and fees included. Checked bags and spending money aren't in that total. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and come back Nov 21, 2026, on Frontier with one stop and 4h 59m of travel on the way out.

Why now
The Frontier fare is $215 per person, or $430 for two. That's $268 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, out of 12 offers we checked. Add 7 nights at Orange Tree Resort for $1,241 and the whole trip comes to $1,671 for two, taxes and fees included. A checked bag, any resort fee and spending money come on top of that. In mid-November the desert runs typical highs of 71–81°F with lows near 53°F. That's warm enough to spend whole afternoons outside and cool enough for a morning hike up Camelback Mountain. If the stop bothers you, American flies nonstop in 3h to 3h 13m for $289 per person, or $578 for two. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a slow desert week for two adults: sun, a spa day and early hikes, with the galleries and bars of Old Town Scottsdale nearby when you want a night out. It suits couples or friends who care more about warmth and time to rest than a packed schedule. The pace is easy, with mornings outside, unhurried afternoons and dinners out.
