The verdict

Our verdict

Worth it, if

  • $314 per person on Frontier, $49 below the typical fare
  • Typical highs of 71–81°F for sunrise hikes on Camelback Mountain
  • Breakfast included at La Quinta, rated 8.3 from 1,064 reviews

The catch: The outbound fare has one stop and takes 7h 31m from a 6:00 AM departure, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.

Worth it if you can pack light and leave early for a warm, easygoing week; skip it if you need a nonstop.

Worth it if you don't mind a stop and an early start. The trip comes to $1,747 for two, all in: Frontier flights at $628 plus 7 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Phoenix Scottsdale at $997, with its $122 property fee also counted and taxes and fees included. You go Nov 14–21, 2026, and the 6:00 AM flight out is not nonstop: one stop and 7h 31m.

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.
