I believe it's between 6 and 7 hours. You'd most likely have to fly to O'Hare first.

The earlier the better. I say eat at 4, then have the plane leave at 5. its cheap and quiet. Plus, you can sleep! also, then when you get to Detroit you can do things the day you get there, but if you left at say 6 at night by the time you got there you couldn't do anything once you got there.
2 :
Everything I've read says to book at least 21 days in advance before your departure date to get the best rates but I always book within a month. I always use Yahoo Travel, Cheaptickets, and Hotwire and pick out the best ittenerary with the best price.
3 :
Ideally, you should book a flight a few months before a long haul flight or a few months/weeks before a short haul flight. im sorry i do not know anything about sites with airlines going to Detroit, and i dont know where you are flying from. From the UK you could try Luton or Gatwick
4 :
It depends on where you fly from. Northwest has a big presence in Detroit but I would first try Southwest Airlines or Spirit Airlines. Hopefully those 2 carriers fly from where you live or from an airport that is close to where you live. Just remember that summer is a time where it is more expensive to fly since students are out of school and that is when people start taking vacations.

With no lay-overs, an hour, maybe hour and a half maximum. I fly from Atlanta to Michigan regularly and that takes about an hour and 45 minutes.
2 :
For non-stop flights: Detroit to La Guardia (LGA) - 1 hour, 45 minutes Detroit to JFK - 1 hour, 55 minutes Detroit to Newark (EWR) - 1 hour, 45 minutes Note that times are slightly longer on the return trip as you are typically flying against the airstream (add about 10 minutes typically). Happy flying!

I have a Domestic flight out of Detroit...but the day of the flight..I have somethings to take care off, and will not be able to arrive till an hour before my flight departs? Do you think that is sufficient time to clear checking and get to my Departing gate?

It might be, if you hurry you will be ok
2 :
Yes! Domestic Flights say to arrive one hour early, and International Flights arrive two hours early before departure.

Depends on the airport and the time of day and the time of year. I live in LA and at LAX, late morning, peak season, fahgedaboudit, three hours minimum. But if you are leaving out of a smaller less crowded airport you might be ok. I love my local Burbank airport. If I arrive an hour early I am sitting at the gate for 40 minutes. There are things you can do to speed up the process. First, have somebody drop you off, parking and waiting for the shuttle eats up a lot of time. Next, no checked bags, that's a whole security line you don't have to wait in. Also, most airlines let you check in online, definitely do that. Then with boarding passes in hand, just go straight to the main security line, you MIGHT get through that in under an hour, if it's not too busy. Don't wear any metal, wear slip on shoes and don't have any liquids in the carry on. Good luck!

This link has a list of historic wait times at the DTW airport based on the time of day: http://www.ifly.com/detroit-metropolitian-airport/wait-times You can use those times to get a reasonable prediction of how long you will wait once you arrive at security. Also, take into account the walk from security to the gate, if you will take the shuttle or not, where you will park, if you can get dropped off, etc. DTW is pretty busy, and pretty big. It can take 15 minuets just to get from security to some of the gates. Also, if you are not at your gate 20 minutes before departure time, you can loose your seat, and lose your right to re-use the value of your ticket. This does not often happen, but if you are on a full flight, and it can leave early, they will board early and the door will be shut at the 20 minute mark. It has happened to me at DTW before. I would recommend checking in on-line and not checking a bag, but take warning that if you walk through the door 1 hour before departure, you could be cutting it very close.

no i don't think so! try to do what you gotta do the day before because you never know what you will be faced with long check in time. huge security line missing your flight!! i would rather be safe than sorry..
