Reading is the perfect way to pass time during a layover! |
For
some, layovers are a wonderful time to get out of the plane that has held them
hostage for hours and walk around on some steady land. For others, layovers are
a drag and can’t end soon enough. Check out some of these tips on how to make
the most of your layover at Detroit Metro Airport:
- Explore Detroit! Depending on how long your layover at DTW
airport is, get out and explore this great city! Some layovers can be as
long as 5-6 hours, just enough time to hit most of the popular Detroit
sites.
- Work out. If you don’t want to leave the airport, make the
most of your stay by burning a few calories. If you are shy, or really
don’t want other travelers to watch you do jumping jacks in the terminal,
download a distance app [Strava, Nike Plus etc] on your smart device and
take a brisk walk around the airport. You can clock in a few miles before
your next flight arrives.
- Eat,
drink, and be merry! Nothing makes a layover pass faster than a trip
to one of the many Detroit Airport bars for a quick drink. Most
restaurants have a happy hour special, perfect if your layover is during
the afternoon.
- Get a room. If your layover is
going to be very long, and/or during the wee hours of the morning,
consider getting a cheap hotel room so that you will feel refreshed for
the next leg of your journey. Can’t spend that much money? Purchase some
ear plugs and a sleep mask before your trip, and get a little shut eye
right at your terminal
- Read. Just about every airport has
a multitude of magazine carts and bookstores. Browse every magazine on the
rack or purchase a book you have been dying to read. Better still, take
this opportunity to download a book onto your smart device and enjoy some
quiet time.
