Flying into Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)

If you are flying, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is the best option. DTW is a busy and efficient airport with many daily flights and connections both within the U.S. and internationally. (Home | Wayne County Airport Authority)

Major airlines at DTW include Delta, American, United, Southwest, Alaska, Air Canada, Frontier, JetBlue, WestJet, and several international carriers. (Home | Wayne County Airport Authority)

Important Update: Spirit Airlines Is No Longer Operating at DTW

In the past, many attendees used Spirit Airlines for affordable flights to Detroit. Spirit has now stopped flying from Detroit Metro Airport. (Home | Wayne County Airport Authority)

Because of this change, some flight prices may be higher than before. Planning your travel early is now even more important.

How to Save Money on Flights

Book Earlier Than You Think

Last-minute deals are rare these days. For the best prices on domestic flights, experts suggest booking several weeks or even months ahead.

Compare Multiple Airports

If you’re traveling from a large city, look at flights from nearby airports too. Sometimes, driving a bit farther can save you a lot of money. With Spirit no longer flying from DTW, compare prices from Southwest, Frontier, Delta, American, United, and JetBlue.

Watch out for extra costs like baggage fees, seat selection, and change fees. Sometimes the lowest ticket price does not mean the cheapest trip overall.

Flights are often less expensive when booked on Sundays rather than Fridays, according to the Airlines Reporting Corporation. Arriving on Thursday still gives you time to settle in and rest before the conference starts.

Avoid Tight Connections

Rushing through airports or missing a connection can ruin the start of your conference. Try to allow extra time for connections, especially at busy airports.

Planning Ground Transportation

Before you book your flight, consider how you will get from the airport to your hotel.

Options typically include:

Rental cars, rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft, and airport shuttle services

Carpooling with fellow attendees

If you arrive at the same time as other attendees, try connecting through MIHC's social media groups to share transportation costs.
