Check the Sticky/FAQ at the top of the thread, or do a search on building a MR...

But to find a cheap fare, basically, there are 2 approaches here in MR Deals:
1) Be proactive and spend time daily (or set up alerts) to do a search with your specific parameters (i.e. DL from DTW)
2) Wait to see if someone else found anything good that closely matches your requirements

Majority of readers on MR Deals forum wait to see if there's anything good that comes up from fellow members. Speaking as a collective, there's a better chance one of us, in the process of searching for an airfare, will find something. But that is a reactive process... and sometimes not suitable if you have a specific need.

BTW, welcome to FT!

Also, another good primer is the sticky found here in the MR Discussion subforum:
