Sedona from Spokane, Oct 16–18: $1,723 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs of 69–73°F and a 0–13% rain chance for hiking
- Desert Quail Inn Sedona at Bell Rock rates 8.8 from 506 reviews
- $571 per person, $15 under the typical $586 on this route
The catch: You'll make one stop and spend 5h 30m getting to Phoenix, Sedona is two hours north, no room has free cancellation, and a checked bag is about $160 for two.
Worth it if you can give up Friday afternoon to a connection and want hiking weather; skip it if you need a refundable room.
Worth it if you don't mind one stop. The whole trip is $1,723 for two, all in: round-trip flights at $1,142 plus 2 nights at Desert Quail Inn Sedona at Bell Rock at $548, plus its $33 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. You'd go Oct 16–18, 2026, on United (operated by SkyWest as United Express), with one stop and 5h 30m to Phoenix; a checked bag and spending money cost extra.

Why now
At $571 per person, the fare is $15 under the typical $586 on this route, about 3% lower, going by 19 earlier checks. For two, the whole trip comes to $1,723, all in: flights at $1,142, Desert Quail Inn Sedona at Bell Rock at $548 and its $33 in property fees. That total doesn't include a checked bag (about $160 for two) or spending money. October is Sedona's peak season, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, and the room prices reflect that. The forecast looks good: 73°F and clear on Friday, then 69°F and overcast through Sunday with a 9–13% chance of rain. That means you can hit the trails in the cool of the morning and bring a jacket for stargazing, since lows are 52–53°F.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature and wellness weekend in the desert. You'll spend your mornings on red-rock trails, your afternoons on scenic drives or in a spa, and your evenings under dark skies. It suits a couple or two friends who like to stay active without rushing. With only 2 nights, plan on one big hike, one easy outing and plenty of time to sit and look at the buttes.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if one stop doesn't bother you. The fare is $15 under the typical $586 per person, the weather forecast is 69–73°F, and the inn in the total rates 8.8. The downsides: 5h 30m of travel to Phoenix, the drive north after that, and no free cancellation on any of the three hotels.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $1,723, all in: $1,142 in flights plus $548 for 2 nights at Desert Quail Inn Sedona at Bell Rock, plus $33 in property fees, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag (about $160 for two) and spending money aren't included. That's the price we found when we checked, and it can change.
Do I need a passport?
No. This is a domestic trip, you'll pay in US dollars, and Phoenix has no time difference from Spokane on these dates.
What is the weather like?
Friday, Oct 16, looks clear at 73°F with a 0% chance of rain. Saturday and Sunday look overcast at 69°F, with a 9% and 13% chance of rain. Lows are 52–53°F, so pack a layer for the mornings and evenings.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for a long weekend if you keep the plan short. You land in Phoenix at 6:35 PM on Friday, so Saturday is your full day for one hike, like Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge, plus the Chapel of the Holy Cross or a Pink Jeep tour.
How do I get there from the airport?
The flight lands at Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), and Sedona is two hours north. Flagstaff Pulliam (FLG) is also listed as a nearby airport.
