Take in the weird lights at DTW airport

Detroit's main airport was refurbished a few years ago and turned DTW
into one of the nicer large airports out there. They have a ton of
shops, a bunch of restaurants and a monorail running right through the
terminal My complaint is that it's incredibly long and it seems that
every time you have a connection thought that airport they land you
and dock at gate A2 and then your connection is at gate A78 which has
to be be a easily a mile walk
But what is by far the most memorable part of the airport is the
connection tunnel to terminal B which travels you about 1000 feel
underground to come to this tunnel with more lights than an Erasure
concert. It's not bad per se but between the Enya playing and the
soothing lights it feels like you are walking into a massage parlor.
I guess it is designed to calm the business traveler down but when you
are running from gate C67 to gate A68 and only have 3 minutes you
don't want calm..you want to get to that flight and the fact that the
rest of the people in the airport are in a trance doesn't help you
hustle

  1. I guess we should ask how you know what it looks like to walk into a massage parlor. But I won't.
