10. Fly from Detroit to Paris, France, for as low as $910 round trip

Romantic Paris and its iconic landmarks — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre­-Dame, the Arc de Triomphe — most likely show up near the top of many travelers' bucket lists. It's now possible for Detroit residents to cross the City of Light off their list for under $900 round-trip when flying indirect with United, but for those who have an extra few hundred dollars sitting in their bank account, United Airways offers a direct alternative that'll reduce traveling time to just nine hours.

9. Fly from Detroit to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for as low as $555 round trip

If you need a good reason to take up scuba diving, Cabo San Lucas provides the perfect one in the form of underwater sand falls, an amazing spectacle you won't see at any other tourist destination. If diving isn't your thing, though, just relax on beautiful beaches, explore Cabo's vibrant nightlife, or stay active with some snorkeling, parasailing, or kayaking. For the best deals on airfare, plan your trip in early May and check with United, or save some time by flying direct with Delta for about $100 more.

United Airways has the cheapest round trips with stops to Montego Bay, sometimes as low as $438.

7. Fly from Detroit to Oranjestad, Aruba, for as low as $456 round trip

Oranjestad's warm waters and near­-constant 82-­degree weather make it the perfect spot for all the usual Caribbean vacation activities — snorkeling, parasailing, boat rides and, of course, sunbathing — but it also boasts some interesting cultural attractions, such as the National Archaeological Museum and the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, and its pretty, pastel-­colored Dutch colonial buildings are truly a feast for the eyes. This time it's Spirit Airlines who offer the very best deals on round trips with stops to this destination, coming in at just $323.

6. Fly from Detroit to Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, for as low as $447 round trip

Interested in pirates? This former pirate ship haven offers a lot of sometimes cheesy but always fun attractions that reference its colorful past, from a nighttime kayak tour to the Dubloon Pirate Ship and your choice of Bluebeard's or Blackbeard's castle to explore. Landlubbers won't be disappointed, though, because the busiest port in the Caribbean boasts some great beaches, top­notch shopping and fine dining options to check out. For the best deals on round trips with stops, try US Airways and plan your trip for May or late July.

4. Fly from Detroit to Nassau, Bahamas, for as low as $409 round trip

3. Fly from Detroit to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, for as low as $399 round trip

Punta Cana is perfect for sun-seekers, with a wealth of palm-­lined, pristine beaches and some great bars and nightclubs to discover once evening rolls in.

Fly US Airways for the best rates on round trips, or cut down on your travel time with Delta's direct flights, priced around $545 round trip.

2. Fly from Detroit to Cancun, Mexico, for as low as $384 round trip

Want to leave all of your worries behind? How about kicking back on some of the most beautiful beaches in the entire world for as low as $373?
