It’s still an enormous mess of an airport but it’s light years ahead of what it used to be. The Detroit Airport has made a lot of improvements in the past decade or so. It’s a sprawling landscape of concrete runways and taxiways and huge terminal buildings that require their own shuttles.
To get between the D Terminal and the conjoined B & C Terminals, you dive underground. The passageway is lit with subdued greens and blues that pulsate with the esoteric music piped in from the walls. It feels as though you’re under water instead of under the tarmac. When you pop up on the other side, it’s a new world with more twisting corridors, escalotors and moving sidewalks.
At least there’s this: DTW seems much more user-friendly than it was 10 years ago.
