The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $386 per person, $57 below the typical fare on this route
- Typical highs of 71–81°F for the week, lows near 53°F
- Free cancellation at all three hotels, Old Town pick scored 7.6
The catch: It's one stop and 19h 13m of travel round trip, and a checked bag (about $140 for two) and resort fees aren't in the total.
Worth it if you want a warm desert week of hikes, gardens and spa time; skip it if a one-stop flight is a dealbreaker.
Worth it if you don't mind a stop: $2,040 for two, all in, covers the flights at $771 plus 7 nights at Courtyard by Marriott Scottsdale Old Town at $1,269, with taxes and fees included. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and come back Saturday, Nov 21, 2026 on Alaska Airlines, with one stop. It isn't a nonstop, and checked bags, resort fees and spending money aren't in the total.

Why now
At $386 per person, this fare is $57 below the typical fare on this route, 13% under the $443 median of our earlier checks, and it carries the Lowest in 30 days badge. We checked 12 offers and saw fares from $386 to $441 per person. Mid-November suits the desert well. Typical highs run 71–81°F with lows near 53°F, so it's warm enough for the pool and cool enough for a sunrise hike. The timing also misses both the extreme heat of June through September and the peak resort rates that come with spring training in February and March. That makes it a good week for trails, a garden walk, a spa afternoon and dinners in Old Town. Prices were all-in when we found them and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is an easy-paced week of desert sun: sunrise hikes, a garden walk, a spa afternoon, then dinner and a drink in Old Town Scottsdale. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm days and a little nightlife, with 7 nights to settle in instead of rushing. It's less of a fit if you're after a beach or a big-city itinerary.
