Additionally, all options below are for nonstop flights unless otherwise mentioned.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The cheapest flight on this list as of early May, a roundtrip nonstop trip to Philadelphia with Frontier costs as little as $38.
Atlanta, Georgia
A trip to Atlanta flying Frontier or Spirit sits within the $50-80 range all throughout June. Prices rise in July before dropping back down in August.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Just under 30 miles from Miami, Fort Lauderdale can cost you as little as $52 if you fly with Spirit on a Tuesday or Wednesday in June.
Tampa, Florida
If you hold off your vacation until the second half of the summer, you can snag flights to Tampa with Spirit for as low as $77 or even as low as $58 with Frontier. The secret? Look for flights in July and August, either departing or returning on a Wednesday.
New York City
While a little harder to spot and a lot more scattered, you can still find a couple of steals flying into New York’s LaGuardia Airport for as little as $52 at the start of June, $83 in mid-July and $72 in mid-August; just look for flights with Spirit departing on a Wednesday and returning on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
If you’re looking for a cheap flight to Myrtle Beach, prepare to pack your bags in June. There are a slew of flights between $63 and $83 if you travel with Spirit on a weekday in June, but after that, prices increase throughout the remainder of the summer.
Orlando, Florida
In the beginning of June and all throughout July, there are plenty of Frontier flights between $66 and $90 available as long as you look for dates to depart on a Tuesday or Wednesday and return on a Thursday or Saturday.
Las Vegas, Nevada
From the beginning of July through the end of August, there is a large number of Frontier flights to Las Vegas priced exactly at $96, exclusively for travel days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Nashville, Tennessee
There is a sizeable selection of $97 six-day trips to Nashville with just a few requirements: you fly Spirit departing on a Wednesday and returning on a Tuesday in July.
San Diego, California
While on the pricier side of the spectrum, this is still considered a deal when flying to California. Usual flights from Detroit to San Diego fall within the $500 range, but flights with Spirit in June stay below $200 — usually with a layover — while flights Frontier in July sit below $250.

Retired Detroit sergeant faces new sexual assault charge involving 14-year-old victim from 2002
An additional case, this one involving a victim who was then 14 years old, has been added to the sexual assault investigation against a former Detroit Police Department sergeant.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the latest charges on Friday against Benjamin Martin Wagner, 68, who now lives in Greenville, N.C. He had retired from the Detroit Police Department in 2017.
The victim in the additional charges was 14 years old when the assault happened in October 2002 in Detroit, Worthy said. The prosecutor alleges that Wagner approached the victim, pointed a handgun at her, ordered her away from the location and then sexually assaulted her.
In this case, he faces charges of kidnapping, two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. An arraignment hearing took place Friday in the 36th District Court in Detroit. A probable cause conference is scheduled for April 7.
The woman is now 37 years old.
“She has lived with what happened to her for 23 years and has now bravely decided that she wants to be a part of holding him accountable,” Worthy said.
Wagner participated in a court hearing Thursday and was remanded to jail, one week after he was charged with 15 counts of kidnapping and rape in five separate sexual assault cases. All of those incidents happened between 1999 and 2003 in the northwest side of Detroit, with the victims being young women between the ages of 15 and 23.
The court dates for the earlier list of charges are April 7 for a probable cause hearing and April 14 for a preliminary exam.
Wagner joined the Detroit Police Department in 1989 as a police officer and was eventually promoted to sergeant. He retired in 2017 and moved to North Carolina.

Fangirl Culture is Front and Center as Detroit Mercy Theatre Company Presents a Zany Y2K Comedy
I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire closes Detroit Mercy’s 55th Season
DETROIT — Detroit Mercy Theatre Company (DMTC) closes the inaugural season of the new Detroit
Mercy Black Box Theatre with I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire by Samantha Hurley, playing April 10-19 on University of Detroit Mercy’s McNichols Campus.
I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire is set in 2004 and follows 14-year-old Shelby Hinkley, who is obsessed with Hollywood star Tobey Maguire and creates a play to kidnap and marry him in her basement.
“This play is as hilarious as it is heartfelt,” said DMTC managing director Sarah Rusk. “Shelby truly believes Tobey Maguire is her destiny, and through her obsession we get a look into the complicated emotions of growing up during the Y2K era.”
“I absolutely love working with young actors,” said director Cassandra Svacha.
“Watching them create and rise to the challenge is thrilling. I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire to college-aged kids is like a period piece; none of them were alive when this story takes place so it’s extra fun to have them dive into this world in an anthropologic way. They aren’t reminiscing or remembering 2004, they have to study that world and build it for themselves.”
I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire runs six performances April 10-19 at the new Detroit Mercy Black Box Theatre on University of Detroit Mercy’s McNichols Campus. The DMTC Ticket Office is open Tuesday-Thursday 10 a.m.- 2 p.m., with tickets being available for purchase anytime online at www.DetroitMercyArts.com.
Individual tickets are $25 for adults, $18 for seniors and Detroit Mercy faculty, staff and alumni, and $10 for veterans and students (ages 4-college). Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more. To schedule your group, contact Sarah Rusk at 313-993-3273.
Those looking to buy tickets should note that the play is rated R and contains adult language and
