Now mind you, the airport I&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s been around since airports were invented. It&#8217;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&#8217;s the first impression of Detroit you&#8217;re going to get when you stop off the plane.<\/p>\n<p>So among other things, I personally consider it the worst airport I&#8217;ve ever experienced.
