Detroit to Moab - $319 Roundtrip – Fall & Winter Adventure!

Great Lakes Travel Deals — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:11:24 GMT

Discounted flights from Detroit to Moab are available at just $319 roundtrip for travel this fall, with some additional dates available in February. I just shared this deal out of Grand Rapids, but with flights to Moab typically averaging around $600 roundtrip, this fare is too good not to share with the Detroit crowd as well. I found options ranging from four-day getaways to week-long trips.

Fall is one of the best times to visit Moab. September typically brings warm, sunny days, while October cools into ideal hiking weather. By November, expect cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. February offers a completely different experience, with chilly days, cold nights, the possibility of snow dusting the red rocks, and some of the lightest crowds of the year.

Moab is an incredible base for exploring Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Dead Horse Point State Park. Hike to Delicate Arch, take a scenic drive through Canyonlands, catch a sunset over the red rocks, or spend a day mountain biking or off-roading. At $319 roundtrip from Detroit, this is a great fare to one of the most breathtaking destinations in the West.

Discounted flights from Detroit to Orlando are available starting at just $70 roundtrip for select travel dates in October and November. At this price, Orlando makes for an affordable fall getaway, whether you’re planning a full week or just a few days away.

Fall is also one of the most fun times of year to visit Orlando’s theme parks. Walt Disney World gets into the Halloween spirit with seasonal decorations and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, while Universal Orlando hosts Halloween Horror Nights on select evenings. By November, the parks begin transitioning to their holiday and Christmas celebrations, giving you two very different seasonal experiences depending on when you visit.

I’ve included several of the best flight options I found below. With roundtrip airfare starting at only $70, this is a great opportunity for a fall Disney or Universal trip without spending much just to get there.

Discounted nonstop flights from Detroit to Denver are available at just $72 roundtrip for select travel dates in October and November. There are several options available with travel dates and length of trip, ranging from quick three-day getaways to weeklong trips.

Fall is a great time to visit the Denver area. October can bring beautiful weather and fall colors in the nearby Rocky Mountains. Take a day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park, check out Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, or spend a day exploring Boulder or Golden.

By November, ski season is typically underway at several nearby resorts, including Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, and Breckenridge. Terrain can still be limited early in the season, but with nonstop flights starting at only $72 roundtrip, this is an incredible price for a fall getaway to Colorado.

Detroit to Anchorage $247 Roundtrip!

Great Lakes Travel Deals — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 20:44:03 GMT

Roundtrip flights from Detroit to Alaska are available for just $247 for select travel dates from September through February.

We’ve been seeing similar Alaska deals pop up from other Great Lakes airports recently, but this is the first time we’ve ever seen Detroit fares drop this low. Flights to Alaska are often $550+ roundtrip, making $247 a price that’s simply too good not to share.

Fall and winter offer a completely different side of Alaska. September brings fall colors, fewer crowds, and opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing around Anchorage. As winter arrives, travelers can experience snow-covered mountains, dog sledding, winter train rides, and some of the best opportunities to see the Northern Lights. Skiers and snowboarders can also head to Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska’s premier ski resort, surrounded by the Chugach Mountains and just about 40 miles from Anchorage.

The heart of winter isn’t for everyone, but for travelers looking for a true Alaska winter adventure, January and February can be an incredible time to visit—especially with airfare this inexpensive.

Fort Lauderdale is known for its beautiful beaches, waterfront dining, boating, and walkable Las Olas Boulevard filled with shops, restaurants, and galleries. It’s also one of the world’s busiest cruise ports and makes a great starting point for a Caribbean vacation. If you have a rental car, you’re within an hour of Miami, the Everglades, and plenty of other South Florida attractions.

Detroit to Baltimore - Fall Weekends - from $64!

Great Lakes Travel Deals — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 14:48:23 GMT

Direct flights from Detroit to Baltimore have dropped to just $64 roundtrip this fall, matching the lowest prices I’ve seen on this route since February. At this price, it’s one of the better domestic weekend getaway opportunities currently available from Detroit.

Weekend trips are widely available throughout the fall, with longer vacations also possible by simply opening up the flight and expanding your travel dates.

If it were me, I’d book this flight simply as an excuse to spend a fall weekend on the Chesapeake Bay in Annapolis.

I’d walk the historic waterfront, explore the campus of the U.S. Naval Academy, and make multiple stops at Boatyard Bar & Grill for oysters, Maryland crab cakes, and a couple of Mango Cart beers.

The other reason I love this deal is that it offers a completely different way to experience the Washington, D.C. area. Many of us have core memories of visiting during the middle of summer—standing in long lines, navigating heavy crowds, and dealing with hot, humid weather. Fall brings crisp temperatures, colorful trees, and a much more enjoyable atmosphere for walking the National Mall, visiting the Smithsonian museums, touring monuments, or spending a day in Georgetown.

Detroit to Cairo from $700 Roundtrip

Roundtrip flights from Detroit (DTW) to Cairo (CAI) are currently available from $700 for travel between October and February. This route is typically priced around $950 or more, making this a solid opportunity to visit one of the world’s most fascinating destinations at a significant discount.

A week in Egypt gives you enough time to experience many of its iconic highlights. Spend a few days exploring Cairo, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum, home to countless ancient treasures. From there, consider a day trip to Saqqara or fly south to Luxor to explore the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple. If you’re looking for a more relaxed finish to the trip, add a couple of days along the Red Sea in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.

One of the best parts about visiting during this time of year is the weather. October through February is widely considered the best time to visit Egypt, with warm, comfortable daytime temperatures generally ranging from the upper 60s to low 80s. It’s ideal for exploring archaeological sites without the intense summer heat, while evenings can be cool enough for a light jacket.

If Egypt has been on your travel bucket list, this is one of the better prices I’ve seen from Detroit in quite some time.

DETROIT TO ORLANDO FOR $64 ROUND TRIP… YES, REALLY!

Great Lakes Travel Deals — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:24:26 GMT

I know, I know… we just posted a South Bend to Orlando deal yesterday, and I typically don’t love sharing the same destination back-to-back.

But this one was just too good not to pass along.

Frontier Airlines just dropped direct flights from Detroit (DTW) to Orlando (MCO) starting at only $64 round trip this October. The last time we saw Detroit to Orlando prices even close to this low was back in the fall of 2025, so this is definitely a rare drop.

Another important difference from yesterday’s deal: this flight gets you into Orlando International Airport (MCO), while the South Bend Allegiant flight uses Orlando Sanford (SFB). Both can be great options, but MCO puts you closer to Disney, Universal, more rental car options, and the main Orlando tourism corridor.

October is also one of the best times to visit Central Florida:

🎃 Fall events are everywhere — including Halloween celebrations at the major theme parks
☀️ Better weather — warm Florida days without the peak summer heat
🎢 A great park window — many families are back into school routines, which can mean a better experience
🌴 More than theme parks — beaches, natural springs, golf, restaurants, and outdoor adventures are all within reach

Two Great Lakes airports. Two different Orlando options. And now Detroit gets a rock-bottom $64 nonstop flight we haven’t seen in almost a year.

Love seeing this kind of pricing competition.

Detroit to Tokyo for $884 Direct on Delta!

Great Lakes Travel Deals — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:26:14 GMT

I’m currently finding nonstop Delta flights from Detroit to Tokyo starting at $884 round trip for travel between September and February.

While this fare isn’t the lowest we’ve ever seen on this route, it is still a steep discount from typical pricing, especially considering the recent increases in fuel costs that have pushed many international airfares higher. Nonstop flights between Detroit and Tokyo are often priced at $1,200+ round trip, making this a very attractive opportunity to visit Japan without the hassle of a connection.

My brother-in-law recently returned from Japan, and he has traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally. What stood out to me was that he didn’t just enjoy the trip—he said Tokyo and Japan are places he would happily visit several more times. That’s not an endorsement I’ve heard him give many destinations before, and it certainly caught my attention.

If Japan has been on your radar, this is one of the better nonstop fares I’ve seen from Detroit in quite some time.

If Nantucket has been sitting on your travel wish list, this is one of the better opportunities I’ve seen in quite some time.

I’m currently finding flights from Detroit to Nantucket starting at just $182 round trip for travel during August and September on Delta and JetBlue.

Why Visit Nantucket in Late Summer?

Late summer is arguably one of the best times of the year to experience the island.

The weather is still fantastic. Daytime temperatures are typically comfortable, the Atlantic Ocean has had all summer to warm up, and beach days are still very much on the agenda.

The crowds begin to ease slightly. While August remains popular, the island starts to feel a bit more relaxed as September arrives, allowing visitors to enjoy Nantucket’s charm without quite as much congestion.

A Few Nantucket Highlights

Brant Point Lighthouse

One of the island’s most recognizable landmarks, Brant Point Lighthouse welcomes visitors arriving by ferry and offers beautiful views of Nantucket Harbor.

Cisco Beach

Known for its rolling surf, wide sandy shoreline, and stunning sunsets, Cisco Beach is a favorite among both visitors and locals.

Nantucket Whaling Museum

Nantucket’s history is deeply tied to the whaling industry. The museum offers fascinating exhibits and a rooftop observation deck with panoramic views of downtown.

Downtown Nantucket

The cobblestone streets, historic architecture, boutiques, galleries, and seafood restaurants make downtown one of the most walkable and enjoyable destinations in New England.

More Than Just a Week-Long Vacation

While many travelers automatically assume Nantucket requires a full week, don’t overlook the possibility of a shorter getaway.

When you open one of the flight options and search around a bit, you’ll find opportunities for 3- to 5-day trips, and other shorter itineraries.

Bottom Line

Roundtrip fares from Detroit to Nantucket starting at $182 are an outstanding value for one of the Northeast’s premier summer destinations. Between the beaches, historic charm, fresh seafood, and postcard-worthy scenery, Nantucket offers a completely different feel from most East Coast beach towns.
