Why go now
$280 per person, or $560 for two, is the all-in round-trip fare we found on Frontier from DCA, taxes and fees included. It's also the lowest price in our 3 checks on this route so far. That's too few checks to call any price typical, and fares can change. Mid-November is a good stretch to be in the desert, with typical highs of 71–81°F and lows near 53°F. That's well clear of the summer heat and comes before the February and March peak resort rates. A full week leaves room for sunrise hikes, a spa day and slow evenings in Old Town Scottsdale without rushing anything. With the best-value hotel at $1,101 for 7 nights, plus our daily spending estimate, our budget for the whole trip comes to $3,481 for two.
The kind of trip this is
This is a desert and wellness week with good food and an easy nightlife option. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm afternoons, cool mornings for hiking and a spa day without leaving the country. Expect a slow pace: an early trail, a long lunch, a pool or garden in the afternoon and dinner in Old Town Scottsdale.
