People may have heard me complain about how bad Metro Airport is in Detroit. Now mind you, the airport I’m talking about is the main one for Detroit, officially dubbed DTW (Detroit Wayne County), normally just referred to as Metro airport. It marginally improved when they built the new terminal a couple years back. But good luck using that terminal as that’s only for Northwest and Delta. Most other carriers are still in the ancient terminal. And by ancient, I mean the thing feels like it’s been around since airports were invented. It’s old and good luck finding where your baggage carousel will be. I feel bad for first time visitors to the old terminal because that’s the first impression of Detroit you’re going to get when you stop off the plane.
So among other things, I personally consider it the worst airport I’ve ever experienced. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my opinion was backed by some research. I found an article the other day by USNews describing the 47 most miserable airports. I clicked the link, curious to see where good ole DTW stood. Wow, imagine my ‘surprise’ when it’s sitting right there on top of the list.
