The Lowdown on DTW Lounges: From Fancy to Free-ish
DTW boasts a collection of lounges to suit your travel mood (and budget). Here's a quick rundown:
Delta Sky Club: The king of the DTW lounge jungle, Delta offers five (!) Sky Clubs scattered throughout the McNamara Terminal. Think comfy seating, complimentary snacks and drinks (including some adult beverages for those particularly long layovers), and free Wi-Fi to catch up on work or post envy-inducing vacation pics. Heads up, Delta Sky Club access usually requires membership or flying in on a Delta One or higher class ticket.
The Freedom Center: Not affiliated with any airline, this independent gem offers a peaceful escape with comfy chairs, workspace, and even a prayer/meditation room. Bonus points for having a killer view of the tarmac for some plane-spotting action! Access typically requires a Priority Pass membership or a day pass purchase.
Lufthansa Senator / Business Lounge: This lounge caters specifically to Lufthansa passengers flying in Business or Senator Class. Think plush seating, a decent food spread, and a place to unwind before your flight. Access is limited to Lufthansa premium class passengers.
