Why now
At $314 per person, the Frontier fare is $49 below the typical fare on this route. That's 13% under the $363 median of our earlier checks and the lowest we've seen in 30 days. Mid-November is a good time for the desert, with typical highs of 71–81°F and lows near 53°F, so a sunrise hike and an afternoon by the pool both work. You'll miss the extreme summer heat, and you're ahead of February and March, when spring training and the Phoenix Open push resort rates to their peak. The $1,747 for two covers the flights and a week at the hotel, with breakfast and the $122 property fee included. Not included: checked bags and spending money, which we'd put at $1,820 for the week. Those are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a desert getaway for two, with sunshine, trails, gardens and spa time, plus Old Town bars and restaurants when you want company in the evening. It fits a couple or two friends who want a slow week. Plan an early hike, a long lunch, the pool and an easy dinner. Seven nights leaves room for an architecture tour, a balloon ride and a day at the spa without rushing.
