You want to go on a summer vacation really bad, but the bank account has other ideas. However, if you know where to look and you spend your money wisely, you can make that summer vacation happen!

All of those that require a flight are way more expensive than this particular flight that I found for less than $100. However, I did see round-trip flights for Tokyo for under a thousand, which I think is a really good deal...

Anyway! $1,000 is a lot to spend on a flight, especially if you're trying to stretch that budget. So let's get to the cheap flight I found out of Minnesota.

The Cheapest Flight Out of Minnesota

I took to Google Travel to see if there were any great deals on flights coming up. So I just put in MSP and didn't specify a destination or any dates and hit 'Explore.'

I found a few that were under $100 round trip, but we'll talk specifically about the cheapest one I found.

No, it's not a flight to Chicago, although that popped up for only $94 round trip.

The cheapest round-trip flight out of Minnesota was to Atlanta. And, honestly, I was a little surprised. I don't know what I expected from flights to Atlanta, but I guess I thought others would be cheaper.

This flight to and from Atlanta is only $90 per person! (As of writing this post, at least. We all know flight prices change dramatically.)

$90 for a round-trip ticket is a super good deal, and it's for mid-June. So if you're hoping to get out of the state a do a little summer vacation on a budget, Atlanta might be a spot to check out.

Other flights I found for under $100 were Asheville, NC, Chicago, and Denver.
