The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $270 per person, $117 below the highest fare we saw
- Cowboy Hideout apartment rated 9.6 from 19 reviews, free cancellation
- Hiking weather: highs 55–66°F, lows near 39°F for these dates
The catch: It's two stops each way on MX + F9, the American nonstop costs $774 for two, and a checked bag adds about $160 for two.
Worth it if you'd trade a long travel day for a week of red-rock hiking; skip it if you need a nonstop.
Worth it if you can live with two stops. The trip is $1,444 for two: the flights at $540 plus 7 nights at Cowboy Hideout at $904, taxes and fees included. You leave Tampa Saturday, Nov 14 and return Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, on MX + F9 with two stops each way, so it isn't nonstop.

Why now
When we checked, the flights were $270 per person. That's $117 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 30% gap across 12 offers. Add a week at Cowboy Hideout for $904 and the trip comes to $1,444 for two before you go. A checked bag (about $160 for two), any resort fee and spending money are extra. Mid-November is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, so a lower fare counts for more. Typical highs are 55–66°F with lows near 39°F, and the averages lean overcast. That's good weather for Cathedral Rock and Devil's Bridge, not for the pool. Seven nights gives you time for long hikes, a slow drive up Oak Creek Canyon and a night or two of stargazing.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature and wellness week in the desert: red-rock trails in the morning, a jeep tour or a chapel visit in the afternoon and stars at night. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk a lot and turn in early, since evenings drop to near 39°F. The pace is slow, and with seven nights no single day has to fit everything in.
