Tourists visit the Statue of Liberty. NYC is just one of the spots you can fly to for under $100 roundtrip right now from Tampa.
Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesKids are back in school so airlines are forced to drop fares to rock bottom prices this time of year. With temperatures every day here in the Tampa area in the mid 90s, it's a great time to get away! Especially with roundtrip flights going for under $100 right now from Tampa International Airport.
New York City
Go see the Statue of Liberty or grab a slice of authentic New York pizza. Fly nonstop on JetBlue right now from Tampa to JFK or LaGuardia for $98. Do keep in mind though these fares do NOT include a carry on piece of luggage. September is where you'll find the most cheap flights right now.
Chicago
Not a fan of NYC style pizza? Go get some deep dish and catch a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. There are a BUNCH of flights right now to Chicago as low as $78 with Frontier. Just like that NYC deal though, this price doesn't include your baggage. So pack light. I found a bag on Amazon that is the maximum size for a "personal item." It's like $10! Well worth it if you like cheap flights like this and are only going for a few days.
Detroit
Visit the Motown Museum or catch a Lions game at Ford Field. Frontier and Spirit both are offering fares in the $60s right now.
Philadelphia
Up for a Philly cheesesteak? Go take a selfie with the Rocky Balboa statue. $88 roundtrip flights on Frontier are easy to find right now in September.
If you can spend a few more bucks...
These destinations didn't make the list because of the $100 filter, but for a few more bucks, there are some great northeast places to visit. Burlington (Vermont), Montreal, Boston, and Portland (Maine) are all in the mid $100s for roundtrip flights right now from Tampa. Or head west. There are plenty of flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas right now that are well under $200 roundtrip.
