Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)

McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is Delta’s second-largest hub, sitting about 20 miles southwest of downtown Detroit.

Two Terminals, One Free Shuttle

DTW is built around two terminals: the McNamara Terminal, Delta’s hub and the larger of the two, and the North (Evans) Terminal, used by Southwest, Spirit, and most other airlines, with a continuous free shuttle connecting them.

Plan for a Drive, Not a Train

DTW has no direct rail link downtown, so a rental car, taxi, or rideshare is the standard way in, typically 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and time of day.

A Straightforward Layout for a Major Hub

With just two terminals rather than the five or more found at some hubs of similar size, DTW is comparatively easy to navigate, and the McNamara Terminal’s internal train covers its own long concourse quickly.
