Sample flights
Departing round-trip flights to Orlando (MCO) are available from various U.S. cities, including:

Since I am quite sure it’s freezing in Minnesota, let’s start with a flight for just $118 on Delta in February. Did I mention it’s nonstop?
This flight is in Delta’s basic economy cabin, which includes one free carry-on. A checked bag will cost you $60 and you can upgrade to the main cabin for $50 to choose your seat.
Similarly, you can find the same priced Delta flight to Orlando out of Detroit on February 1, where the same fare cabin rules apply.
For those on the East Coast, there are a variety of flights available, including from DCA to MCO for just $128 round-trip via a nonstop flight on American Airlines.
