Detroit Metropolitian DTW Airport Overview

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW (or short 'Metro Airport') is one of the newest and most efficient airports in North America with two new passenger terminals, 145 gates, and two modern inspection service facilities for international arrivals. It is also one of the busiest airports in the U.S. and ranks among the largest air transportation hubs in the world. J.D Power & Associates ranked Metro Airport, among large U.S. airports, as number one in terms of overall customer satisfaction.

The Airport is located on approximately 20 miles outside of the City of Detroit, Michigan, and is situated to the north close to Interstate Highways 94 (Exit 198) and  I-275 (Exit 15 east to Eureka Road east to John Dingell Drive north).

With six long jet runways and an estimated 32.4 million passengers a year, Detroit Metro Airport serves as the SkyTeam Alliance's major mid-western hub, is Delta's second-largest hub and its primary gateway to Asia, and is a major operations base for low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines. The Airport is served by numerous domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.  The Airport has been granted certification for the large Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft, which will soon enter services at DTW.

NOTE:  Lufthansa has launched curbside check-in & baggage check service for its Frankfurt & beyond bound passengers. Those who have already checked in online may drop off their checked luggage at the curb. Also, Lufthansa's FlyNet enables passengers to surf the internet and use mobile data communication onboard.

The on-Airport Westin Hotel (tel. 734-942-6500) is inside the McNamara Terminal, offering a pool, spa, and 34 meeting and boardrooms, and a well-equipped business center. Skytrax just named this hotel to be among the top-three airport hotels in North America.

The passenger terminal complex at Metro Airport consists of the McNamara and the North Terminals. When transiting betweeen terminals to catch a connecting flight, keep in mind the distances and count on an hour between connections. A shuttle bus circles the terminal area and runs every 10 mins between the North Terminal and the Westin Hotel (7 mins), between the hotel and the McNamara Terminal (2 mins) and between the McNamara and North Terminals (7 mins). (For detailed terminal information click on 'Terminal Maps').

Parking options are available at the McNamara and at the North Terminal vicinity and include parking garages and parking lots, including a cell phone lot. (For detailed parking information, click on 'Airport Parking'.)

    The McNamara Terminal is one mile long, but has walkways. Passenger satisfaction is quite high for the McNamara Terminal, and one passenger is excited about North Terminal's improvements made. A passenger shares information regarding currency exchange and ATM locations, while another likes the shopping and eating variety, and others advise of a new Tokyo flight, as well as of Continental's move to the North Terminal
