Why now
The fare was $369 per person round trip, or $738 for two, with taxes and fees included when we checked. That's the lowest fare in the 4 checks we've run on this route, and Delta and American both showed the same $369. Mid-November is a good time for the desert: highs of 71–81°F, lows near 53°F, a mix of clear and overcast days, and the summer heat is gone. Resort rates peak in February and March with spring training, so you're going before that. ADERO, a 4-star resort, was $258 a night. Our rough budget for two adds up to $3,907. That covers flights, the best-value hotel and $130 a day per person for spending. The week works for sunrise hikes, afternoons at the spa and dinners in Old Town Scottsdale. Prices change, so we can't promise any of this will hold.
The kind of trip this is
This is a desert wellness week with a side of food and nightlife. You get warm, dry days for hiking and garden walks, slow afternoons at a resort pool or spa, and evenings at the bars and restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale. It suits couples who want sunshine without beach crowds, or friends who like an early hike and a late dinner. Seven nights means there's no rush, so the pace stays easy.
