The verdict

Our verdict

Worth it, if

  • Frontier nonstop, 1h 35m, $38 per person round trip
  • $263 per person below the typical fare on this route
  • One-bedroom king suite with balcony or patio, rated 8.4 from 547 reviews

The catch: You land in Phoenix, two hours from Sedona, and a checked bag, about $240 for two, isn't in the total.

Worth it if you like cool hiking days and don't mind the drive from Phoenix; skip it if you want warm sun or nightlife.

Worth it if you don't mind a two-hour drive from Phoenix: this week of red-rock hiking costs $1,260 for two, all in, with the flights at $76 plus the hotel at $1,184, taxes and fees included. It runs Nov 14–21, 2026, 7 nights, on a Frontier nonstop from San Diego to Phoenix that takes 1h 35m. A checked bag at about $240 for two, any resort fee and spending money are not in that total.

Why now

The fare does the heavy lifting here: $38 per person round trip, which is $263 below the typical fare on this route, an 87% gap, and the lowest in 30 days of our checks. That puts the flights at $76 for two, so most of the $1,260 total goes to the room. Mid-November is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest hotel rates, which is why a fare this low matters. Expect highs of 55–66°F and lows near 39°F, mostly overcast with a clear day on Friday, Nov 20: good trail weather, jacket weather after dark. Plan on $190 per person a day for spending and our budget for the week comes to $3,920 for two. Prices are what we found when we checked and can change.

The kind of trip this is

A nature week at an easy, outdoorsy pace: morning hikes on red rock, a jeep ride over the slickrock, a spa afternoon and dark skies at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like trails more than nightlife and don't mind cool, cloudy days. Seven nights leave room for a drive up Oak Creek Canyon and a few slow mornings on the balcony.
