Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), located in Romulus, Michigan, serves as the primary airport for the Detroit area and all of southeastern Michigan. It’s one of the largest airline hubs in the Midwest, handling tens of millions of passengers annually through its efficient design and strong international connections.

DTW is a major hub for Delta Air Lines and also serves carriers such as American, United, and Spirit. The airport features two passenger terminals — the McNamara Terminal (used mainly by Delta and SkyTeam partners) and the Evans Terminal, which accommodates most other airlines. Both terminals are connected to extensive parking, rental car, and ground transportation facilities that make travel seamless for business and leisure passengers alike.

Renowned for its clean layout, art installations, and light tunnel, Detroit Metro Airport consistently ranks among the top airports in North America for customer satisfaction.

DTW’s TSA security checkpoints are designed for efficiency, offering TSA PreCheck, CLEAR Plus, and priority access lanes for qualified travelers.

• McNamara Terminal (Concourses A, B, C): Primarily Delta and international flights. The A concourse features one of the largest checkpoints in the U.S., with multiple PreCheck lanes.
• Evans Terminal: Serves carriers such as American, Spirit, and Southwest with centralized screening and convenient post-security amenities.
