Detroit Airport's Little Secret

Where: 2501 Worldgateway Place [map], Detroit, MI, United States, 48242

A Detroitan tipster let us know that for anyone flying out of Detroit Metro Airport, the Westin Metro Airport (right in the middle of the McNamara Terminal) lets you avoid the long TSA security and check-in lines, by simply going through the Westin's lobby.

Turns out the hotel lobby has its own security line that no one is ever waiting in and then after you go through the metal detectors you are right at gate A 35 for Northwest.

Our tipster also loves the fact that he can stay at the Westin the night before an early flight, roll out of bed and get on the plane. And apparently, the hotel must have invested in some major sound-proofing because our tipster swears you can't hear the 747s roaring as you go to sleep.

Another bonus is the cool hotel bar so you can avoid the weirdos in the concourse bars.

However, if you do stay here you can't really explore the city of Detroit because well, duh, you are at the airport (that is maybe also the point our tipster is trying to make.) But if you want a quick-in, quick-out Detroit tour, this could be the place for you.
