Decide how much of the day to spend exploring.
An airplane tour can give you a new perspective on Sedona or take you farther into Northern Arizona. Sedona Airways offers local sightseeing and longer air-and-ground experiences. If you’re flying into Phoenix for your trip, choose the experience first, then leave enough time in Sedona to enjoy it.
The official tour catalog lists the Majestic Sedona Airplane Tour, an airplane-and-Jeep combination, a Grand Canyon outing, and an Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend excursion. Compare the full itinerary rather than flight time alone: ground touring, check-in and local connections also take part of the day.
See the red rocks by air and trail.
The Sedona airplane-and-Jeep tour pairs a flight described as 30 minutes with a two-hour Jeep adventure. The aerial portion takes in red rock scenery, Oak Creek Canyon and surrounding forest. After landing, the ground portion with Sedona Jeep Tours follows Schnebly Hill Road.
That combination is worth comparing if you want an aerial overview and a guided outing on the ground during the same visit. Read the current itinerary for your chosen date, including the meeting instructions and participation requirements. You can also explore our Sedona Jeep Tours planning guide for other off-road options.
Allow a full day for a farther-away destination.
Sedona Airways’ Grand Canyon itinerary combines a flight to Grand Canyon Airport with ground touring operated by First Class Charters, followed by a return flight to Sedona. Its Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend excursion is described as a seven- to eight-hour outing, flying to Page for ground visits before returning.
For either option, plan around the entire excursion and confirm current operating details with Sedona Airways. An overnight stay on both sides of a longer tour can make more sense than trying to fit an airport transfer into the same day.
Connect your Phoenix arrival with your Sedona plans.
Rova’s Phoenix to Sedona shuttle connects Phoenix Sky Harbor and Sedona McDonald’s for $149 per seat. Scheduled departures from Phoenix are 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM, Arizona time. Check your travel date and choose a departure that leaves time for your flight arrival and baggage collection.
Arrange your local ride from Sedona McDonald’s to your stay or tour meeting point separately. Sedona Airways lists 235 Air Terminal Drive on its contact page; follow the exact check-in instructions in your tour confirmation. Its published itineraries request arrival 30 minutes early.
Book the tour directly with Sedona Airways and the airport shuttle with Rova. For your Sedona to Phoenix return, leave time for local transportation, the drive to Sky Harbor and airline check-in. A little space in the schedule keeps a day of sightseeing from becoming a race to the airport.
