Prepare on the Plane
Your flight to Detroit is the perfect time to catch up on business that needs to be taken care of when you arrive. Before you board, download your voicemail messages and important work files so that you can access them and prep for meetings while in the air. Be sure to download the DTW terminal maps, too. This way, when you find out at what gate you’re landing, you’ll know exactly where you need to head and can see what restaurants and shops are close if you have a connections.Shop at the Airport
Don’t worry if you have to stay longer than expected at DTW and didn’t pack enough. There are plenty of shops and upscale boutiques that give you the flexibility to walk out of the airport and be ready to do business. The McNamara Terminal, for example, offers internationally recognized brands, including Spanish fashion label Desigual, The Body Shop, Pandora and the first-of-its-kind Estee Lauder Beauty Boutique.Dine at the Airport

The McNamara Terminal offers local favorites, such as Italian chain Andiamo, to go along with internationally recognized favorites, including P.F. Chang’s, Max and Erma’s and Chick-fil-A. In the North Terminal, you are covered with Earl of Sandwich, Detroit favorites National Coney Island and Hockeytown Café, and many other options.Stay Connected between Connections
