Thanks for joining me on this tour of Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport! Today's tour covers one of the busiest airports in the country, and a major hub for both Delta Air Lines and low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines. Detroit's famous design makes it easy for transiting Delta passengers to get from A to B, but there's a lot more to see at DTW!
Detroit's consistent expansion, modernization, and amenity focus have made it a fan favorite among travelers, and I'm here to show you why, or just to help you if you find your next trip connects you through Michigan's busiest airport.
I do a lot of original research while preparing these videos, so please leave a comment below if you have questions about the tour or navigating the airport, and I'll do my best to answer them! Or, share your own thoughts and experiences about IND!
Finally, let me know where you'd like to see next! Stay tuned for new flight and airport videos every weekend!
Please travel safely!

One of the cleanest airports I’ve been in. Very easy to get around.

Especially for how busy it is!

DTW is my home airport. Your review of the airport is spot on. DTW is so underrated. I travel monthly state side and about four times a year internationally. DTW is one of the easiest airports to transverse. I’m now a new subscriber of your AMAZING channel.

We moved from metro Detroit about 18 years ago. We miss the area very much, everything from our tiny house in Ferndale, our favorite restaurants, Bakers Keyboard Lounge (the oldest jazz club in the country) and since we lost our parents, DTW. If we ever traveled home by air, we knew it would be a smooth trip through DTW. The Delta Sky Lounge is a dream and a pleasure waiting for your flight.

@NikoNiki_KIZUNA Год назад

The fact that this was uploaded on the same day as my birthday. This airport gives me memories.

@rain_down_ Год назад

Recently been here for the first time to catch a flight from the McNamara terminal. Everything is so clear and easy to navigate, with lots of seating areas, restrooms and eating/drinking places. Excellent experience.

@MilesByFoot Год назад

It's about as foolproof as possible!

@antoinemoorman5754 Год назад

DTW consistently ranks in the Top 10 as one of the Best Airports in the United States for customer satisfaction and has even held the #1 spot a few times

@MilesByFoot Год назад

Not surprised!

@tuandoan-saigon 8 месяцев назад

I wonder why no hub airport in the US follow DTW's model, in which, the hub airlines (Delta in this case) has its own terminal for handling international departures, arrivals, and immigrations 😢

@ViciousBabushka Год назад

DTW is my home airport. My husband & I are disabled and require the wheelchair service. There have been times when not enough wheelchair pushers were available and we had one person pushing 2 wheelchairs! They are not allowed to use the tram if one person is pushing 2 wheelchairs down "the longest terminal corridor in the US"! Sometimes there are 16-17 year old teenagers working 2nd shift. They get paid $7.25/hr which is minimum wage. If you use this service please remember to tip your wheelchair pusher! We tip $20 per chair.

DTW is one of my favorite hubs, it was a pleasure to cover it!

I was there last year. I remember moving through a tunnel to get to the other side. The red train was a marvel to me seeing it for the first time.

Pretty neat, huh?

@bryanedney2723 Год назад

One of my favorite Airports. Love the indoor tram.

@alg8181 Год назад

Just an amazing and informative video. Thank you so much. I have a tight connection here, but I feel much better about it all thanks to this video. I appreciate your work! Thank you 🙏

@ganymedes62 Год назад

I connected through DTW from Amsterdam in April of last year and it was a very easy airport to navigate. I only had carry-on luggage, so after passport control I quickly passed TSA and found my way to the gate for my connecting flight. I only missed out on riding the APM as it wasn't really necessary for me at the time 🙂

@ganymedes62 9 месяцев назад

I'll have 3 hours and 40 minutes in June 2024, plenty of time to explore DTW 🙂

@sirbrad2336 7 месяцев назад

I appreciate the information provided by this video.

@steveb7429 2 месяца назад

I recently flew through DTW for the first time. It’s extremely easy to navigate through the main terminal. Despite the fact it’s huge and nearly a mile long. Also a very clean airport with lots of amenities.

@MilesByFoot Месяц назад

DTW's great!

@SS_DT Год назад

Ahh. So relaxing. 🥰

@haydenjackson4577 Год назад

I could stay for days in that airport and not have a single complaint😂 I love that place

@MilesByFoot Год назад

I'm glad you feel that way! DTW's a great airport whether you have 10 minutes or 10 hours!

Thanks for the tour, I’m connecting here from South Carolina to Las Vegas looks to be a straight forward connection.

Awesome; have a safe journey and enjoy DTW!

@ajsliter Год назад

My Home Airport as well. I've flown Northwest, Southwest and Frontier to and from Oregon and also Colorado when my Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles were still alive. Now recently booked for my 3 year belated college graduation gift which is a 10 day trip to Southern Germany/Austria via Delta Airlines in Late August/Early September! Can't wait to see the land of my blood ancestors, the Natural Beauties like the Alps, the Great Meat-Based Cuisines and the History (Musical, War or Cultural) of various locations throughout both countries. I may even get to see my father's buddies from when he had fairly frequent business trips for Volkswagen as Parts Middle Management! Maybe even Tour the Wolfsburg Factory!

I’m considering taking my first solo trip ever and have been super anxious about not going to the correct terminal and/or not knowing where to go once I finally figure out where and how to park. Three minutes in and this video has already answered two of my most worrisome questions. Thanks for posting! Going back to watching and taking mental notes now😅

@neoflyerx Год назад

I love DTW. Really easy with nice shops. Always connected there on my trips from WAS-PEK. The skyclub is really nice, although the food is mediocre. I wonder if the tunnel is longer than SLC.

@carlawebb3841 Год назад

We are flying from Louisville to Detroit for a connection flight to London. Our flight from Louisville was moved back by almost 2 hours so now we have 59 minutes between flight. As we do not fly often, I have been super nervous about the short layover times. Hopefully everything runs smoothly.

@MilesByFoot Год назад

If they're on the same booking (I'm assuming both legs are on the same Delta ticket) the connection is built-in, meaning they're betting you'll make it. Thankfully, DTW is one of the best airports in the country for a tight connection. From the moment you walk off the plane till the time you get to your next gate, even at the farthest possible distance, is about 10 minutes for most Delta flights. Most flights between Louisville and Detroit these days use the central B gates, and nearly all international flights use the central A gates. Connect through the tunnel between A and B, and you'll find your gate with ease and time to spare!

@easye1311 Год назад

I love your channel sir, last year you helped me navigate SeaTac and i had a seamless tranist with their underground trams and this November I'm flighing from Detroit to Amsterdam so I guess I should expect an A gate?

@MilesByFoot Год назад

I'm so glad! Yes, it will certainly be an A gate. Flights to Europe always depart from A gates in the center of the concourse to accommodate the planes that fly the route!

@easye1311 Год назад

@@MilesByFoot ok thank you..

@avedahusniyahadara Год назад

I am use to the TSA abuse leaving Houston IAH and Hou, leaving DTW was soo much simpler and non nerve-racking.

@avathediamondgirl346 Год назад

We only have one airport in our area but since it is pretty small it only goes two places Minneapolis and Detroit if we’re flying west we go to Minneapolis but if we’re flying south or east we go here

@dj_cmc2274 Год назад

I have a connecting flight from Charlotte to here, will be flying from Detroit to Denver and I am really nervous since this is my first time going through here. I wont know my gate arrival or departure til around June 1st or 2nd will be flying out on the 3rd and I get really anxious about that! Will be flying through Delta if you know which Concourse they are usually in it would be a great help and appreciate it if you do reply! On the other hand this looks like a really nice airport.

@CrystalClearWith8BE Год назад

DTW Metropolitan Airport is one of America's best mega world class airports ever built. Located in Romulus, MI, an airport suburb of Detroit, it's one of the best hubs of Delta Airlines other than MSP Int'l Airport.

@MilesByFoot Год назад

Agreed!

@CrystalClearWith8BE Год назад

3:53 I found a mistake in this video. This is the wrong IATA code of Shanghai Pudong International Airport. PVD is the airport code of Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport in Warwick, RI south of Providence, RI. The airport code of Shanghai's world class airport is PVG. But hey, at least the rest is a good video of the tour of DTW.

日本の大阪からニューヨークへ行く時に6回利用しました。赤い電車が印象的でした。　ニューヨークからデトロイトまでの便が遅れた為、大阪行きの便に乗り継ぐことができず悲しんでいました。　日本の名古屋便なら乗れるけどエコノミークラスで妻との座席が離れるとのこと。　仕方ないなと思っていました。そこにデルタ航空の男性がやってきて、女性の係員にビジネスクラスを用意してあげて！と指示を出しました。　なんと日本までビジネスクラスで帰れることになりました。　私にとって人生初のビジネスクラス。嬉しくて一睡もせずに日本に帰国しました。最高の思い出です。

@wadeinn463 Год назад

Back in the 70s we got high driving around metro and ended up on the tarmac, Don’t know how we made it that far.

A lot has changed since then, that's for sure!

@Paolo-sw8ys Год назад

Since Delta bought Northwest DTW has been Delta' second largest hub (it was NWA's largest) but according to this vlog it's Delta's 3rd largest... So maybe one of Delta's other hub's have supplanted Detroit? If true, then which one is now 2nd?

@MilesByFoot Год назад

While it surprised me too, Minneapolis is just a hair bigger these days! DTW could take it back any year, though.

@nyankooishii Год назад

i think DTW looks like a mixture of Itami(osaka) and Nagoya (cyubu) airport in japan

@MilesByFoot Год назад

This is one of my favorite features of O'Hare's design!

@killerbees177 Год назад

Hopefully, Jetblue keeps the Spirit terminals when they officially buy them

@MilesByFoot Год назад

Time will tell; for now, though, you can find both in the Evans terminal!

@portcybertryx222 Год назад

This is quite similar to Doha international in terms of design

@calebreese2311 Год назад

Detroit was already serving Beijing, it’s just in 2023, they, along with SeaTac, will be changing their service from Beijing-Capital Airport to Beijing-Daxing Airport

@MilesByFoot Год назад

According to Delta, there aren't any flights between DTW or SEA and either PEK or PKX for now. I'm fairly certain both served PEK non-stop before COVID-19, though.

@calebreese2311 Год назад

@@MilesByFoot they did serve PEK pre-COVID, and they were planning to switch over to PKX in 2020. But, for obvious reasons, that was delayed

@nyankooishii Год назад

is there any stuff who can speak japanese in this airport?because i'm not good at using english and have problem to hear someone speaking

@MilesByFoot Год назад

Many announcements and signs are in Japanese and English. If there are not bilingual gate agents or flight attendants servicing your flight, find the nearest gate where a flight is leaving for Japan; the agents there have the highest chance of speaking Japanese.

@killerbees177 Год назад

How easy is it to get to and from the airport to downtown

@MilesByFoot Год назад

The airport is a good distance from downtown, about 20 miles as the crow flies. It's served by Detroit's express bus service, which they named "FAST." The 261 FAST bus heads downtown every 30 minutes or so, stops at both the McNamara and Evans terminals, and the trip to or from the airport takes about an hour.

@killerbees177 Год назад

@Miles By Foot so is the Amtrak station. I honestly didn't like that but the Qline takes you downtown

@ianfrederick723 Год назад

3:57 PVG, not PVD 😅

@MilesByFoot Год назад

Providence on the brain!

@azraeljo6862 Год назад
