Sedona from Tucson, Oct 30–Nov 1: $1,451 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Southwest nonstop, 55 minutes, $547 per person, 49% below typical
- Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona: 8.8 from 868 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 65–67°F for hiking Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge
The catch: The flight lands in Phoenix, two hours from Sedona, so you'll need your own way north, and a checked bag is about $140 for two.
Worth it if you want two days of mild-weather hiking and don't mind the drive north; skip it if you'd rather not deal with a car.
Worth it if you don't mind a two-hour drive from Phoenix. The total is $1,451 for two: Southwest nonstop flights at $1,094 plus 2 nights at Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona at $337 and its $20 property fee, taxes and fees included. You go Oct 30–Nov 1, 2026, a 2-night weekend, and the 55-minute nonstop lands at Phoenix Sky Harbor at 8:40 AM.

The kind of trip this is
This is a nature-and-wellness weekend in the red rocks: a morning hike, an afternoon at the spa or in the galleries, a slow dinner, then the stars. It suits a couple or two friends who like being outside and don't mind an early start, since the 7:45 AM flight gets you going. The pace is easy, with room for a Jeep tour or a drive up the canyon.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if you're fine with the drive. The fare is $547 per person, $526 below the typical fare on this route, and the weather is mild. The catch is that you land in Phoenix, which is two hours from Sedona.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $1,451 for two: flights at $1,094 plus Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona at $337 and its $20 property fee, taxes and fees included. Bags, getting to Sedona and spending money aren't in it. With our $760 spending estimate, the trip comes to $2,191.
How do I get from the airport to Sedona?
The Southwest nonstop lands at Phoenix Sky Harbor at 8:40 AM, and Sedona is two hours north of Phoenix, so plan your own way up. The cost of that leg isn't in the $1,451 total.
What's the weather like?
Typical highs for these dates are 65–67°F, with lows of 39°F to 41°F. Oct 30 is usually clear, and Oct 31 and Nov 1 lean overcast.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip within Arizona, you pay in US dollars and there's no time difference.
Is 2 nights enough?
For a weekend, yes. You'll have time for one big hike like Cathedral Rock or Devil's Bridge, a Pink Jeep tour or Slide Rock State Park, and a night of stargazing. A drive up Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff would fill another half day.
