Phoenix & Scottsdale from Syracuse, Nov 14–21: $1,771 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs of 71–81°F in mid-November, lows near 53°F
- La Quinta: 8.3 from 1,060 reviews, breakfast, free cancellation
- Fare is $46 per person below the highest we saw
The catch: It's one stop on American, 8h 55m on the 6:00 AM flight, and a checked bag is about $160 for two, not in the total.
Worth it if you want a warm, easy week of hikes and spa time; skip it if a connection on a long travel day wears you out.
Worth it if a one-stop flight doesn't bother you. The trip comes to $1,771 for two, all in: $774 for the flights plus $997 for 7 nights at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Phoenix Scottsdale, taxes and fees included. You fly American from Syracuse on Saturday, Nov 14, with one stop, and come home Saturday, Nov 21, 2026.

Why now
At $387 per person, the fare is $46 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, 11% under it, across 12 offers we checked. That puts the week at $1,771 for two with the hotel, taxes and fees included. A checked bag, any resort fees and spending money are extra. Mid-November is a good window for the desert. Typical highs run 71–81°F with lows near 53°F, so it's warm enough for the pool and cool enough to hike Camelback Mountain at sunrise. You also miss February and March, when spring training and the Phoenix Open push resort rates to their peak. Seven nights leaves time for a garden walk, a Taliesin West tour and a slow spa day without cramming. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a desert-and-wellness week: sunrise hikes, a botanical garden, a spa day and dinners in Old Town Scottsdale once it cools off at night. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm weather without a beach, at an easy pace, with a livelier night or two if you want them. With seven nights you can pair active mornings with lazy pool afternoons.
