Why go now
When we checked, the nonstop on Alaska was $489 per person round trip, or $978 for two, with taxes and fees included. That's $53 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, about 10% less, out of 12 offers. It also beat the one-stop options we saw at $495 and $520. Mid-November falls between the extreme summer heat and the late-winter spring training rush, when resort rates peak. Typical highs run 71–81°F with lows near 53°F, so days are good for hiking and evenings call for a jacket. A week leaves room for trails, gardens, a spa day and dinners in Old Town. Our budget for two comes to $3,899, covering flights, the best-value hotel and $130 a day each for spending. Fares move, so check the live price before you decide.
The kind of trip this is
This is a desert-and-wellness week: warm days for trail hikes and garden walks, slow afternoons by a pool or in a spa, and evenings out among the bars and restaurants of Old Town. It suits a couple or two friends swapping an Alaska November for sun. The pace is easy, with room for a couple of early starts, and seven nights means you can keep the plan loose.
