5. Fly from Baltimore to Tampa for as low as $183 round trip

Tampa itself isn't what you'd call a top holiday destination, but beneath all the gleaming glass are a number of attractions that make hanging out in the city for a night or two worthwhile, such as the thrills of Busch Gardens and the fascinating immigrant stories of the Ybor City historic district. And once you've drunk your fill of these city pleasures, you can set out to the sun-soaked beaches and art galleries of the nearby seaside town of Saint Petersburg. United run a connecting route down from Baltimore with airfares usually available for less than $200.

4. Fly from Baltimore to Fort Myers for as low as $182 round trip

The range of stand-out tourist sights in Fort Myers is fairly slim — visit the holiday homes of two of America's greatest inventors, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, and you've pretty much got it covered. But then when you've got palm-studded white-sand beaches, seafront golf courses, world-class deep-sea fishing and a gorgeous outdoor cafe culture, considerations like what to see each day kind of fade into insignificance. If such a chilled-out vacation sounds like what you need, then take a look at United's great-value connecting flights from Baltimore.

3. Fly from Baltimore to West Palm Beach for as low as $177 round trip

Year-round sun, Gulf-warmed waters and a string of fabulous Atlantic beaches are West Palm's primary attractions. But go for those pleasures and you'll find a ton of other activities to tempt you into extending your stay. The city is a nightlife hub for a whole stretch of west-coast Florida and also one of the state's best shopping destinations, packed with chic boutiques and brand-name department stores. Just off-shore you can find the unique sights of Peanut Island, which hosts a bunker built by JFK during the Cold War. All flights from Baltimore involve connections and Delta operate the cheapest route, with a travel time of less than five hours.

2. Fly from Baltimore to Jacksonville for as low as $163 round trip

Superb-value connecting flights take just five hours to reach Jacksonville from Baltimore, with rock-bottom fares available on flights throughout the spring and summer months of April, May, June, July and August. The city itself, the largest by area in the contiguous United States, has a dramatic river-spanning, skyscraping downtown, as well as a handful of atmospheric districts dotted with good restaurants and bars that are perfect for an evening stroll. But its main appeal indisputably lies in the Jacksonville beaches, great for surfing, sunbathing and sea kayaking, located a 40-minute drive from the center.

1. Fly from Baltimore to Fort Lauderdale for as low as $138 round trip

If you're scanning this list seeking inspiration for a spontaneous escape to Florida's sand and sun, it's going to be hard to beat Fort Lauderdale. Not only has the city shed its youthful skin as a spring-break party town and become a sophisticated and diverse vacation destination (while retaining plenty of opportunities for revelry along its Las Olas Riverfront), but the flights are outrageously good value. Frequently falling below $150 for a round trip from Baltimore, they're also direct with Spirit Airlines, depositing you in subtropical Florida in just two and a half hours.
