Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is the region’s main international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, and is typically used for both transcontinental and business travel. Located about 20 miles (roughly 30–40 minutes by road) southwest of downtown Detroit, it is commonly reached by rental car or taxi, and by the QLine, shuttle buses and rideshares; travel times can vary with traffic and fares usually range from moderate to mid-level depending on mode. DTW offers a comfortable, modern terminal layout and frequent connections, though peak-hour congestion and distance to the city center can be downsides. For more budget-focused options, Willow Run (YIP) serves some domestic and general aviation flights and can be cheaper but is farther from central Detroit and has more limited public transit.
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) is a major international hub and one of the busiest airports in the United States, serving a wide mix of legacy and low-cost carriers—Delta operates a large hub while Southwest, Spirit and others provide budget options. Located roughly 11 miles south of downtown Atlanta, travel to the city center typically takes 15–30 minutes by MARTA rail (single fares usually in the low single digits) or 20–45 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic (fares vary more widely). The airport is strong on connectivity and amenities, with many lounges and frequent flights, but the size can mean longer walks and security queues at peak times; ground transport is convenient but may be slower in rush hour.
