The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because

- Breakfast included, free cancellation, 8.3 from 1,064 reviews

The catch: A checked bag is about $160 for two and isn't in the total, and most days in the weather normals run overcast rather than clear.
Worth it if you want warm desert days, hikes and spa time a nonstop away; skip it if you're after beach water or a big-city break.
Worth it: $1,993 for two, all in, covers American nonstop flights at $874 plus 7 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Phoenix Scottsdale at $997 and $122 in property fees, taxes included.

Why now
At $437 per person, the American nonstop is $3 under the typical $440 on this route, which is the median of our 8 earlier checks. So it's a fair fare, not a markdown. That puts the trip at $1,993 for two with 7 nights at the best-value hotel. A checked bag and spending money come on top. Mid-November is a good stretch for the desert: typical highs of 71–81°F and lows near 53°F, well after the extreme heat of June through September and before the February and March rush of spring training and peak resort rates. The normals show mostly overcast skies, with clear days on Nov 14 and Nov 20, which is comfortable hiking weather. A full week gives you time to hike, golf, book a spa day and eat well without rushing.
The kind of trip this is
This is a desert-and-wellness week with a side of nightlife and food. Think sunrise hikes, a spa afternoon and gardens, then dinner and drinks in Old Town. It suits couples and friends who want warm days and an easy pace, with active mornings and slow afternoons by the pool. The days take very little planning and the evenings are as lively as you want them to be.
