Discounted nonstop flights from Grand Rapids to Boston are currently available starting at just $90 roundtrip for select travel dates in November.

At $90, this is a great price point. This route typically costs $225+ roundtrip, and the last time fares dropped this low was back in October 2025, making this one of the best prices we’ve seen in nearly a year.

November is a wonderful time to visit Boston, with crisp autumn weather, smaller crowds, and plenty to explore—from walking the Freedom Trail and browsing Quincy Market to enjoying fresh seafood and the city’s historic neighborhoods. If these dates fit your schedule, this is a deal worth considering.

This is the new Allegiant route that I first announced back in November 2024 (link here), and the last time I posted fares for this route was back in March 2025.

Jacksonville makes for an outstanding long weekend. You’ll have miles of Atlantic beaches, a growing food and brewery scene, waterfront parks, and one of the largest urban park systems in the country. From there, it’s an easy drive to historic St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, where you can wander brick streets, tour Castillo de San Marcos, and enjoy excellent seafood. Head north instead and you’ll find Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, known for charming Victorian architecture, beautiful beaches, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere that’s perfect for a weekend escape.

Of course, Jacksonville also serves as a great gateway to Florida’s northeast coast, making it easy to mix beaches, history, golf, nature preserves, and great seafood into one trip.

If you’re interested in a longer trip simply open one of the available flights and expand the date range to uncover additional combinations that work for weeklong vacations or extended stays.

Unfortunately, this may be your last chance to take advantage of these incredible fares.

Nonstop weekend flights from Grand Rapids (GRR) to Philadelphia (PHL) are currently available starting at just $78 roundtrip for travel August through November. I’ve included Friday–Monday itineraries, making this an easy long weekend getaway. If you’d like a longer stay, simply open one of the flights and adjust the dates to fit your schedule.

The disappointing news? It appears Allegiant is discontinuing the route after November. Winter and spring fares immediately jump back into the $350+ range, so if you’ve been thinking about visiting Philadelphia, now is the time. Hopefully this simply becomes a seasonal route and returns next year.

Philadelphia is one of my favorite cities for a long weekend. Walk through Independence National Historical Park, tour the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, wander the charming streets of Old City, sample local favorites at Reading Terminal Market, run the famous Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, or catch a Phillies or Eagles game if the timing works out.

Why Travelers Love Myrtle Beach in the Summer

Miles of Beaches

Myrtle Beach offers more than 60 miles of sandy coastline along South Carolina’s Grand Strand. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly beach days, morning walks, swimming, or simply relaxing with a good book, there’s plenty of room to spread out.

Affordable Family Fun

One of Myrtle Beach’s biggest draws is the variety of attractions beyond the beach. Visitors can enjoy mini golf, water parks, amusement rides, live entertainment, seafood restaurants, outlet shopping, and countless family-friendly activities without breaking the bank.

Outstanding Golf

Golfers have long considered Myrtle Beach one of America’s premier golf destinations. With dozens of public courses ranging from beginner-friendly layouts to championship-caliber tracks, it’s easy to see why the area is often called the “Golf Capital of the World.”

Use Myrtle Beach as a Gateway to the South Carolina Coast

One of the underrated benefits of this route is that Myrtle Beach can serve as the starting point for a broader South Carolina road trip.

Charleston

Just over two hours south of Myrtle Beach, Charleston is consistently ranked among America’s most beautiful and historic cities. Visitors can stroll cobblestone streets, admire colorful historic homes along Rainbow Row, explore Fort Sumter, dine at nationally acclaimed restaurants, and enjoy the city’s famous Southern hospitality.

Pawleys Island

Located south of Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island offers a quieter and more laid-back coastal experience. The area is known for beautiful beaches, marsh views, seafood restaurants, and a slower pace that feels worlds away from everyday life.

Murrells Inlet

Often called the seafood capital of South Carolina, Murrells Inlet features excellent waterfront dining, scenic marshwalks, and opportunities for boating, fishing, and sunset views.

The Bottom Line

At just $80 round trip, these nonstop flights from Grand Rapids to Myrtle Beach represent an exceptional value and a new record low for the route. Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, a golf trip with friends, or using Myrtle Beach as a launching point to explore Charleston and the South Carolina coast, this is the kind of fare that can make a summer getaway surprisingly affordable.

Travel is available throughout July and August, and with fares this low, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the cheapest dates disappear quickly.

I’m now seeing a handful of nonstop flights starting at just $88 roundtrip for travel in May and June — an incredible price for a route that has historically averaged $350+.

Why This Matters

Direct service is the real win here. Philadelphia has long been an expensive and inconvenient trip from West Michigan, often requiring a connection and still costing hundreds more. Allegiant entering the market has completely changed that equation.

Sub-$100 nonstop fares to a major East Coast city are rare out of GRR — and they don’t usually last long.

]]><![CDATA[Grand Rapids to Atlanta in March - Direct Flights from $98!]]>https://www.greatlakestraveldeals.com/p/grand-rapids-to-atlanta-in-marchhttps://www.greatlakestraveldeals.com/p/grand-rapids-to-atlanta-in-marchTue, 03 Feb 2026 11:35:47 GMTIf you’ve been eyeing a quick spring getaway, this one is worth a look. Direct flights from Grand Rapids to Atlanta are currently available starting at just $98 roundtrip for travel in March, which is well below the historical average on this route of $250+. At this price point, it’s an easy long weekend escape or a warm-weather reset before spring fully arrives in Michigan.

Atlanta is a great short-trip destination thanks to its mix of culture and convenience. Visitors love the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola, the city’s vibrant food scene, and walkable neighborhoods like Midtown and Old Fourth Ward. Add in mild March weather and easy access to parks and trails, and Atlanta punches well above its weight for a quick, affordable trip.

This route typically prices north of $650, and the last time fares were this low was back in early 2024.

If winter has you ready to trade snow boots for flip-flops, this is a real opportunity.

Why St. Thomas Works So Well in Winter

Easy travel

St. Thomas is a U.S. Virgin Island, which means U.S. currency, U.S. cell service, and no customs line on the way home.

Perfect weather

Expect daytime highs in the mid-80s, low humidity, and warm ocean temperatures all winter.

Great beaches + views

Magens Bay is consistently ranked among the best beaches in the Caribbean, and the island’s hills create stunning overlooks everywhere you go.

Relaxed Caribbean vibe

Beach bars, casual waterfront dining, sunset sails, and a wide range of resorts and condos.

A Gateway to Even Better Island-Hopping

One of St. Thomas’ biggest advantages is its proximity to quieter, more off-the-beaten-path islands.

St. John

Just 10–15 minutes away by ferry, St. John is over 60% national park land, with incredible snorkeling and a much slower pace.

How to get there:
Ferries run frequently from Red Hook (St. Thomas) to Cruz Bay (St. John).

British Virgin Islands

For travelers looking for something more adventurous:

  • Virgin Gorda (The Baths)

  • Jost Van Dyke (iconic beach bars)

  • Tortola (mountain views and uncrowded beaches)

How to get there:
International ferries run from St. Thomas to Tortola, with easy ferry connections between BVI islands.
