The verdict

IT’S WORTH IT ★ IT’S WORTH IT ★

Our verdict

Worth it, because

  • Southwest at $421 per person, $418 below the typical fare
  • Highs of 80–82°F and lows near 58°F, right for the pool
  • L3 Oasis Hotel scores 8 from 2,153 reviews, free cancellation

The catch: The flight makes one stop and takes 4h 15m, leaving Spokane at 5:30 AM, and a checked bag is about $140 for two.

Worth it if you want two warm pool days and a desert hike; skip it if an early one-stop flight would wreck your weekend.

Worth it: $1,265 for two gets you Southwest flights at $842, plus 2 nights at L3 Oasis Hotel at $375 and its $48 fee at the property, with taxes and fees included. The flight leaves Spokane at 5:30 AM on Friday, Oct 30, makes one stop and lands at 9:45 AM, and you're home Sunday, Nov 1, 2026. A checked bag, about $140 for two, and spending money are not in the total.

Why now

The fare is why this one's worth booking this week: $421 per person on Southwest. That's $418 below the typical fare on this route, 50% under the $839 median from our 14 earlier checks, and the lowest we've seen in 30 days. Across the 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $421 to $593. The weather works too, with typical highs of 80–82°F and lows near 58°F, warm enough for the pool and mild enough for a canyon hike. The extreme heat runs June through September, so late October comes after it. You won't need a passport, there's no time change and you'll pay in US dollars, so it's an easy two-night getaway from Spokane. Prices were all-in when we found them and they can change.

The kind of trip this is

This is a desert-and-pool weekend: slow mornings by the water, a tram ride or canyon hike while it's cooler, then dinner and drinks along Palm Canyon Drive. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm weather, mid-century design and an easy pace, with one bigger outing at most. It isn't a packed sightseeing trip. Two nights are best spent doing a little and resting a lot.
