Location insights

Where Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport moves

Detroit Metro is the Midwest crossroads and one of Delta's most concentrated hubs, split between the big McNamara Terminal with its A, B and C concourses and the smaller Evans Terminal for the other carriers. McNamara anchors the heavy Delta connecting banks across more than a hundred gates. Mornings push domestic and connecting departures, midday holds long dwell along the McNamara concourses, evenings fill arrivals and the coach stands into the city. Two terminals, one Delta-heavy core. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
