Editorial snapshot
Flying to Detroit rewards the traveller who does their homework. Fares are most competitive in January and February, when the city is cold and crowds are thin. Delta's hub dominance at DTW means reliable connections but occasionally inflated prices on thinner routes. This is a city for the curious, the music-obsessed, and the architecture fan, not the resort-seeker. Book eight to ten weeks out for the best domestic fares.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
January and February are Detroit's cheapest months to fly, when cold weather keeps demand low and fares drop noticeably. Summer, particularly July and August, brings the highest fares alongside festival season and the best weather. September is the sweet spot: pleasant temperatures, lower prices, and fewer crowds than peak summer.
