Sedona from Salt Lake City, Oct 23–25: $265 per person, round trip
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Frontier nonstop to Phoenix in 1h 47m, $265 per person
- $10 under the $275 median of our 15 earlier checks
- Hiking highs of 61–67°F with a 6–7% rain chance
The catch: The nonstop lands in Phoenix, two hours south of Sedona, and October is peak season with the highest rates.
Worth it if a red-rock hiking weekend is worth a two-hour drive each way; skip it if you want to land and be there.
Worth it if you don't mind the drive: the fare is $265 per person round trip, $530 for two, on a Frontier nonstop from Salt Lake City to Phoenix in 1h 47m. The trip runs Oct 23–25, 2026, two nights over a weekend. Sedona is two hours north of the Phoenix airport.

Why now
At $265 per person, or $530 for two, this Frontier nonstop sits $10 under the $275 median of our 15 earlier checks on the route, 4% less. That's a small gap, not a fare drop, and it's what we found on Oct 13; prices move. The weather is the stronger reason. The forecast for Oct 23–25 shows highs of 61–67°F, lows of 44–46°F and a 6–7% chance of rain each day, which is good hiking weather for the red rocks. October is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather of the year and the highest rates, so expect busy trailheads and rooms that won't come low. For two nights out of Salt Lake City, it's a short flight, a scenic drive and a cool-weather window for the trails.
The kind of trip this is
A nature and hiking weekend in the desert, with room for a spa afternoon or a slow evening under dark skies. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like an early start on the trail and a quiet dinner after. The pace is active by day and easy by night, and two nights is enough for a couple of hikes and one scenic drive.

Where to stay in Sedona
We didn't find hotel prices for these dates, so this page has no hotel pick and no trip total, only the fare. Start with the area. West Sedona has most of the hotels and restaurants and sits close to the trailheads, which suits a weekend built around Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge. Uptown Sedona is walkable, with shops, galleries and red-rock views from the main street. Oak Creek Canyon has creekside cabins and lodges in the shade north of town, and the Village of Oak Creek, a few miles south, has resorts and golf beneath Bell Rock. Boynton Canyon is for secluded luxury spa resorts like Enchantment. October is peak season, so expect high rates and look for free cancellation before you commit.
