Michigan, also known as the “Great Lakes State” or more colloquially as “The Mitten,” is a destination with something for everyone – whether you’re a city adventurer or an outdoor enthusiast. We think it would be a great addition if it's not already on your "to-travel" list for the summer. Even better? We’ve got nonstop flights to three different cities so you can find the option that best suits your style.
Detroit:
Motor City has a lot of history to appreciate and plenty of modern atmosphere to enjoy. It’s the perfect size city, affordable, and has a lot to offer. Here are just a few of the options for a Detroit to-do list:
Visit the Detroit Institute of Arts
The collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts is as impressive as it is large. Boasting over 100 galleries and featuring works from around the world, there are plenty of gems to be found. Andy Warhol, Georgia O’Keeffe, Winslow Homer, Alexander Calder, and Vincent Van Gogh are just a few of the artists on display.

Traverse City:
Michigan natives and visitors alike flock to Traverse City. Lake Michigan’s sandy shores make for a perfect picturesque summer vacation spot offering plenty of experiences to remember. Some of our favorites include:
Live the lake life
No trip to Traverse City is complete without some time on or near Lake Michigan. We recommend Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore – a 64-mile stretch of beaches, coves, and dunes that are walkable or drivable and provide plenty of excellent views.
