Getting Around DTW Airport
DTW Airport features two main terminals: the McNamara Terminal and the Evans Terminal. The McNamara Terminal is divided into three concourses (A, B, and C) and is primarily used by Delta and its partners. Concourse A is notably long, but don't worry, there are moving walkways and a high-speed tram called the ExpressTram to help you get from one end to the other quickly. The tram stops at three stations along Concourse A, ensuring you can navigate this large area without too much walking.
The Evans Terminal, also known as Concourse D, serves all non-SkyTeam airlines. It's smaller and easier to manage on foot, with moving walkways available to assist in longer stretches. Both terminals are connected by a shuttle service, making inter-terminal travel straightforward. Inside the terminals, you'll find numerous signs in multiple languages, helping guide you to your gate, dining spots, or services. If you're unsure, scanning your boarding pass at one of the digital directories can provide personalized directions and information in several languages.
