The city of Detroit isn't particularly alluring, although, if you gamble, there are several Casinos (including a big one in Windsor, Canada, across the river). The majority of the population lives outside the city limits. Suburbs are very attractive. Grosse Pointe has fabulous homes. Northern suburbs, like Troy and Auburn Hills, have many luxury stores, nice hotels, great restaurants, and excellent leaf watching in Fall (including cider and maple syrup opportunities). It is surrounded by lakes, rivers, and great outdoor options. For those of us who travel there regularly, the North Terminal is a blessing. Fairly new, spotless, uncrowded, with large gate areas, it is an oasis, compared to the Delta terminal, which requires an elevated train to get from one end to the other.

I'd use it to visit family in GRR if the connection from SMF worked. Of course it does not so just more money in the pocket of DL or UA.

I'd use the Detroit flight to visit family in Cleveland, but AS doesn't offer that connection using Alaska.com and instead routes me through Chicago on American.

Oakland county and the suburbs are nice. And downtown has a certain hard luck charm (and some great BBQ!).
I'm super thrilled that it's going -- I fly SEA-DTW for work regularly and I'm SOOO over DL on that route.

On a bright note. The FAs on my flight in both directions were great. They were either "just always great" or they on a mission of recruiting new Alaska fans. Either way it was pretty refreshing to a relatively new United convert. So strange seeing people seemingly enjoying their jobs and helping people with a smile.
