Flights from Los Angeles to Detroit: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Los Angeles to Detroit

Don't sit in front of a little kid if your sleepy. You won't get any sleep. They kick your seat.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit AirlinesLAX-DTWMar 2024
It seems that all flights at this point in time are substantially more expensive between LA and Detroit. If I had it to do over, I might pay a couple hundred dollars more for the extra big front row seat, or possibly an exit row, but frankly, I’m not one to support businesses who care more about making a few extra dollars than creating a good experience for their customers. Even being lower middle class, I won’t force myself into another experience like this one, I’ll be staying away from spirit. Very uncomfortable and unaccommodating.
