Home to a major Delta Air Lines hub, it handles over 30 million passengers annually and ranks among the busiest airports in the United States. The airport is known for its modern McNamara Terminal, which features one of the longest airport light tunnels in North America.
- Edward H. McNamara Terminal (Terminal A) — Delta's primary hub terminal, featuring a quarter-mile underground pedestrian tunnel with a light and sound show connecting concourses.
- North Terminal (Terminal B) — Serves non-Delta carriers including American, United, Southwest, and international airlines with a compact, efficient layout.

Inside the airport, travelers will find a wide range of options from local Michigan brands to national chains, with standout choices in the McNamara Terminal including Detroit staples and sit-down restaurants. The North Terminal offers a smaller but solid selection of quick-service and casual dining spots. For a broader local dining experience, the nearby city of Romulus and the western Detroit suburbs offer authentic Midwest cuisine including Coney Island-style diners.
- Allow extra time to navigate between terminals — the McNamara and North terminals require a shuttle bus or drive, not a direct walk.
- The underground neon tunnel in McNamara Terminal connecting Concourses A and B is a must-see, especially during off-peak hours.
- TSA PreCheck and CLEAR lanes are available at both terminals, strongly recommended during peak morning departure rushes.
- Parking can fill quickly during holidays; use the airport's online reservation system to book garage or economy spaces in advance.
