The flight
The nonstop from DTW to BTV runs about 1h 35m over 535 miles. It's a comfortable mid-range flight: long enough that seat choice matters a little, short enough that paying up for extras rarely does.
Airlines on this route
Delta Air Lines flies this route nonstop. That matters more than it sounds: the cheapest fare on one carrier is rarely the same product as the cheapest on another. Checked-bag fees, free seat selection and change rules all differ, so compare the full trip cost before you pick a winner. See our airline guides for exactly what each carrier charges — then send an enquiry and we'll confirm the all-in price for your dates.
Leaving from Detroit (DTW)
Plan to be at the airport two hours before a domestic departure — ninety minutes can work at smaller airports outside peak times, but security lines are the one variable you can't control. If you're checking a bag, add time rather than cutting it close. Our Detroit airport guide covers terminals, parking and ground transport so you can plan the trip to the airport, not just the flight.
Arriving in Burlington (BTV)
Before you land, know how you're getting from the airport to where you're staying — it's the part of the trip people forget to plan. The Burlington airport guide lays out your ground options, from transit and shuttles to rideshares and rental cars. Flying back the other way? Check Burlington to Detroit fares — prices on the return direction often move on a different rhythm.
When to book
For a trip of 535 miles, booking 2–4 weeks ahead typically lands you in the sweet spot. Leave it to the final two weeks and prices usually climb as the cheapest seats sell out. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures are where the lower fares hide on most domestic routes.
Good to know before you go
- Nonstop time on this route is about 1h 35m — a one-stop itinerary needs to be a lot cheaper to be worth the extra hours.
