Airports might generally be seen as a means to an end or a place that you must pass through on your way to travel elsewhere.
More and more airports around the world, however, have begun to establish themselves as worthy attractions of their own due to technological innovations and a focus on traveler satisfaction.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Detroit, Michigan has become one of the most attractive airport options in the United States for this very reason.
While you might not expect to find a wealth of interesting things at a medium-sized hub airport in the United States, DTW is full of surprises.
One of the most interesting things about the Detroit Airport is its ExpressTram, a sort of elevated subway system inside the Edward H. McNamara Terminal, the second-longest on Earth. It’s completely free to ride and a quick way to get from gate to gate, or a fascinating way to kill time during a long layover!
The other curious attraction that draws lots of love for the Detroit Airport is its light tunnel which connects Concourses B and C and Concourse A in the terminal. Here, a fascinating, timed LED light show turns a drab tunnel into a fascinating art attraction that you will be enthralled by.
Be sure to select an itinerary with a layover in Detroit the next time you’re flying if you want to check out one of the coolest airports on Earth!
