✈️ PAID SUBSCRIBER EARLY ACCESS: This flight deal was sent to paid subscribers 2 hours before its broader release.

Late fall and early winter can also be a great time to visit Rome. Crowds are lighter than during the peak spring and summer months, temperatures are comfortable for exploring on foot, and you’ll have an easier time visiting places like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican Museums, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon without the peak-season crowds.

I’ve listed several of the $577 options below, but as always, play around with the dates- there may be more combinations available than what I’ve shared.

If the dates from our last post didn’t work for you, this is another chance to take advantage of an amazing fare!

Winter is a completely different way to experience Iceland. December through February bring some of the best opportunities to see the Northern Lights, while colder temperatures create seasonal experiences like glacier hikes and natural ice caves. You’ll also find fewer visitors at many of Iceland’s most popular attractions compared with the busy summer season.

Anytime we see nonstop Chicago-to-Iceland airfare for under $400 roundtrip, it’s simply too good not to share. At $399 roundtrip, this is fantastic opportunity to experience one of the most unique destinations in the world!

Fall is a great time to visit Colorado, with Denver, Rocky Mountain National Park and plenty of mountain towns within an easy drive.

Winter can be a wonderful time to experience Paris.

Availability at this price is extremely limited, but if the dates work for you, this is an excellent fare for a quick Vegas getaway as winter starts settling into the Midwest.

This route has been averaging $200+ roundtrip in 2026, so $94 represents a substantial markdown. In fact, I haven’t seen fares on this route this low since around February of 2026.

✈️ PAID SUBSCRIBER EARLY ACCESS: This flight deal was sent to paid subscribers 2 hours before its broader release.

I made a trip out to Las Vegas myself this summer and had a great time exploring both the Strip and some of the places beyond it. If you’re thinking about taking advantage of this fare, click here for some of the places I visited and things I’d recommend checking out.

December can be a great time to visit, too. Cooler temperatures make it much more comfortable for exploring the Strip or getting outside at places like Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam. At under $100 roundtrip and nonstop, this is a great little winter escape if you can make the limited dates work.

October still offers some decent daylight for exploring Iceland’s waterfalls, hot springs, black-sand beaches, and dramatic coastline.

Today, when we find a great fare, we’re sharing it with more than 24,000 email subscribers and an even larger audience on social media.

When I stop and think about that growth, it’s pretty incredible. Thousands of people have used deals we’ve shared to travel across the U.S. and around the world. Hearing that someone booked a trip or seeing photos from a place they visited because of one of our deals is easily one of my favorite parts of doing this.

Sharing the gift of travel with as many people as possible is why I started Great Lakes Travel Deals, and I absolutely want that to continue.

Many of you have also chosen to become paid subscribers simply because you appreciate what we do and want to support Great Lakes Travel Deals. I’m incredibly grateful for that support.

As our audience has grown, I’ve been thinking about a simple way to give those supporting subscribers something extra—and make being among the first to see our best finds part of the paid subscription. With more people than ever seeing the fares we share, some of the very best deals can change or disappear quickly.

I think we’ve found a good balance.

⏰ Paid subscribers will now receive every flight deal 2 hours before it’s released to our 20,000+ free subscribers.

For $30/year—just $2.50/month—paid subscribers get the first look at the 250+ flight deals we publish each year, two hours before they’re released to everyone else. It’s a little extra time and a head start on the most exciting fares, while free subscribers will continue receiving every flight deal we publish.

For me, this strikes the right balance: giving something extra to the people who choose to support Great Lakes Travel Deals while continuing to share the flight deals we find with as many people as possible.

The goal is still pretty simple: find great flight deals, share them, and help more people travel.

Thank you so much for being here! It’s incredible to think about where these deals have taken people, and I’m excited to see where we go next.

Happy Travels,

]]><![CDATA[Toronto to Costa Rica Starting at $219 Roundtrip!]]>https://www.greatlakestraveldeals.com/p/toronto-to-costa-rica-starting-athttps://www.greatlakestraveldeals.com/p/toronto-to-costa-rica-starting-atWed, 02 Sep 2026 10:39:46 GMTRoundtrip flights from Toronto to Liberia, Costa Rica are available starting at just $219 on WestJet for travel in November and December, including an option over American Thanksgiving.

This route has historically been priced around $375+ roundtrip, and fares around $220 are about as good as we’ve seen. For perspective, a similar trip to Costa Rica can regularly cost $600+ from Detroit and $700+ from Chicago, making Toronto an incredible value for travelers willing to reposition for the savings.

Liberia is the gateway to Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region, where you’ll find Pacific beaches, resorts, volcanoes, waterfalls, hot springs, and plenty of outdoor adventure. November is the transition into Costa Rica’s dry season, while December kicks off one of the most popular times of year to visit.

For Michigan travelers, keep the drive in perspective: Toronto Pearson is roughly 3½–4 hours from Detroit and about 5½ hours from Grand Rapids, depending on traffic and the border crossing. That’s certainly a haul, but when you could potentially save hundreds of dollars per person, it may be an easy trade-off—especially for a family heading somewhere tropical.

Starting fare: $219 roundtrip
Airline: WestJet
Travel: November–December
Bonus: American Thanksgiving availability

I found options that work for both long-weekend getaways and week-long trips, giving you plenty of flexibility.

Fall is a great time to head to Orlando, especially if you’re planning a theme park trip. Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando both roll out their Halloween celebrations during the fall, and later in the season the parks begin transitioning to their winter holiday festivities.

With nonstop roundtrip airfare at only $68, this is an easy one to consider for a quick fall escape. Check out some of the best dates I found below!

]]><![CDATA[Detroit to Tokyo — $764 Roundtrip, Nonstop on Delta]]>https://www.greatlakestraveldeals.com/p/detroit-to-tokyo-764-roundtrip-nonstophttps://www.greatlakestraveldeals.com/p/detroit-to-tokyo-764-roundtrip-nonstopTue, 01 Sep 2026 10:50:16 GMTWe found a fantastic international fare from Detroit to Tokyo starting at just $764 roundtrip, with nonstop flights on Delta. Discounted dates are available from December through February, giving you a chance to experience Japan during one of its quieter travel seasons.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen this route anywhere near this price. The last time we spotted Detroit-to-Tokyo fares at a similar level was back in January 2026, making $764 a deal worth sharing—especially for a nonstop flight all the way from Detroit.

Winter can be an incredible time to visit Tokyo and Japan. Tokyo itself is generally cool and relatively dry, with daytime temperatures often in the 40s and 50s°F. You’ll trade the cherry-blossom crowds for fewer tourists, crisp weather, winter illuminations, steaming bowls of ramen, and plenty of opportunities to warm up in an onsen. December also brings elaborate holiday light displays throughout Tokyo, while January and February tend to offer some of the clearest winter days and views of Mount Fuji.

And if you want to explore beyond Tokyo, winter opens up an entirely different side of Japan. Take the bullet train to Kyoto, visit the snow-covered villages of the Japanese Alps, see the famous snow monkeys in Nagano, or head north for some of the world’s legendary powder skiing. Japan combines incredible food, history, scenery, and one of the best rail systems in the world—making it surprisingly easy to turn a Tokyo flight deal into a much bigger adventure.
