The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $321 per person, $20 below the typical fare on this route
- Cowboy Hideout scores 9.6 from 19 reviews, with free cancellation
- Highs of 55–66°F, the mildest hiking weather of the year
The catch: The $321 fare on F9 has two stops and lands the next day, and a checked bag is about $240 for two, which isn't in the total.
Worth it if you'd trade a two-stop flight for a week of trails and a quiet apartment; skip it if you need a short nonstop.
Worth it if you can handle a long connection. For $1,661 for two, you get the F9 flights at $642 plus 7 nights at Cowboy Hideout at $904 and its $115 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. You fly Nov 14–21, 2026 with two stops each way, not nonstop, and a checked bag and spending money cost extra.

Why now
At $321 per person, the fare is $20 below the typical fare on this route, or 6% under. It was also the lowest of 12 fares we saw, which ran as high as $415. November is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, so a 7-night stay for $904 matters. With Cowboy Hideout, the whole trip comes to $1,661 for two, covering the flights, the hotel and its $115 resort fee. Typical highs run 55–66°F with lows near 39°F. That's cool enough for long climbs up Cathedral Rock and good for stargazing, though most days in the normals show as overcast. A full week gives you time for trails, a Pink Jeep tour and a slow drive up Oak Creek Canyon. We found these prices when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature-and-wellness week in the high desert: red-rock hikes in the morning, a slow lunch, then a scenic drive or a spa afternoon. It suits a couple or two friends who like being outdoors and don't need nightlife. The pace is easy. You get seven nights, cool days and clear skies for stargazing after dark, plus enough time to repeat a favorite trail.
