How is Detroit's airport?
I want to fly my mom from Illinois out to California and the connecting flight is in Detroit. I've heard a lot of negative things about Detroit but never actually been there. Would she be safe there for that short time? Is the airport clean? I would really appreciate feedback from anyone who has actually been there before! Thanks in advance!! =)

Every airport is safe, with the exception of third-world nations. The negativity you hear about Detroit, is unfortunately the city. Detroit-Wayne is antiseptically clean.

very nice airport especially you take Northwest( now delta) terminal, big with a lot good shopping and restaurants, easy to connect every terminal though train in 3 min , very safe too.

The airport is nice. It's about 30 miles outside of the city, so you shouldn't have to worry about any gang activity.

If it's just a connecting flight then your mom is fine. Detroit's airport is one of the best; clean, well laid out, good access, and a lot of helpful security. And it is about 10-15 miles from the bad part of town. It's one of the few airports I enjoy.

Hi, I can assure you security is tight at Detroit Metro and your mom will be safe. There are alot of negative steriotypes about Detroit but the airport itself features two new modern and very well cleaned facilitys. In fact the new North terminal is rated as one of the cleanest airport terminals in the world. It isn't at all like the old Smith terminal that was infamous for being grimey, conjested and a nightmare. Fear not DTW is actually now my favorite place that I fly.
