Detroit Airport Connection Flight DTW Tour 

Wow tram inside the terminal 😮

I work there at DTW for Delta. There are only 2 terminals for Delta in DTW. The A concourse handles all of the mainline Delta flights, the A concourse is 1 mile long from end to end. Comprised of gates A2-A78. The B/C concourse handles all but a couple Delta Connection flights and is about half the length and is comprised of B1-B21 and C1-C30. That long concourse design has been an extreme success in previous airports especially for Delta. Atlanta is a great example, Each concourse is a mile long, and they have 6 of them there with another small half sized one, but having that design reduces the amount of traffic jams with aircraft arriving and departing through the same alleyway. It also allows for more retail space with restaurants and shops.

It’s so fascinating that Detroit of all places has such a wonderful airport.

I remember when it opened. It was a Northwest hub. Still a beautiful airport.

I remember 17 years back this terminal was all NWA Northwest airlines back in 2005 the first I was here in Detroit airport. when delta was not here yet.

4:41 Perhaps the concourse is long and linear in order to avoid planes at the gates being bunched up too close at the intersection of the cross. Greater "surface area relative to volume" sounds better, with the linear building. Other airport configurations I have seen have concourses jutting out from a main area and I guess that works also. But I think it's a nice clean airport. Having had only non stop flights since I moved to SE Michigan, I have never had a connecting flight when I had to rush to get to the next one, so the long length never sabotaged my plans!

That concourse is over 1 mile long. Roughly 6,600 feet long.

Hey, i have a connection at this airport (international to domestic) with delta airlines, can u help me with how the process will be and what are things to take care of.

KDTW has the longest airport terminal in North America.

Hi!I am going to have 39mn layover is that enough time?

And the 2nd longest in the world, longest is Tokyo I believe

I'm going to have a 57 min layover in Detroit en route to an international destination, is that enough time?

I have 32 min when I land from Montreal and heading to San Diego, do you think that’s enough time?
