Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport

DTW has two primary terminal complexes: McNamara Terminal (Delta’s hub, major concourses and the large Sky Club presence) and the North Terminal (other U.S. and international carriers). The terminals are separate but connected by shuttle services and pedestrian routes; the McNamara complex is larger and contains many retail and lounge options.

DTW is located in Romulus, roughly 25-35 miles (40-55 km) from downtown Detroit; typical travel time by car is 30-45 minutes depending on traffic.

• Shuttle/Bus: Free inter‑terminal shuttle connects McNamara and the North Terminal; other regional shuttle services operate to downtown hotels.
• Rail: There is no direct heavy‑rail passenger service to the terminals; regional buses and shuttles link to nearby transit.
• Taxis & Ride‑share: Taxis and apps (Uber/Lyft) operate from the airport; expect $40-$70 to downtown Detroit depending on traffic and surcharges.
• Driving: Major roads (I‑94, I‑275) provide access; allow additional time during rush hour.

McNamara Terminal has extensive shopping, dining and Delta Sky Club lounges; the North Terminal offers a smaller set of shops and lounges. Free Wi‑Fi is available airport‑wide (may require acceptance of terms). Charging points and business areas are widely provided, and the airport has accessible services, family facilities and multiple car rental counters. The Westin hotel is attached to McNamara for immediate overnight stays.

• The Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport - attached to the McNamara Terminal; direct access to the Delta concourse area. (See: marriott.com)

Tip: the on‑site Westin is the most convenient option for very early departures or late arrivals; other airport hotels are a short drive away.
