Getting there

Round trip economy from Detroit, Dallas and Atlanta to every city, and what to do once you land.
Round trip economy

From the three home airports to every city.

Kayak and Expedia route averages pulled October 2026. June and July medians shown where available. Spirit ceased operations in May 2026, so any average that included Spirit now skews low. Book 6 to 13 weeks out, Monday or Tuesday departures are usually cheapest, and take the first flight of the day.

Booking tips for twenty guys

  • Nobody needs to be on the same flight, but post one anchor arrival window so the first van or tee time works
  • Everyone books a main cabin changeable fare on his own card; travel insurance is not worth it on a domestic trip
  • Book the Detroit contingent first on single carrier routes (MYR, MSY, AUS)
  • Frontier basic fares look cheap but add $60 to $120 for a bag and a seat; compare the all in number
  • June is the most or second most expensive month on most routes; May is cheapest to fly
