I guess it is not really DTW itself that I hate, it is just the routing through there that I dont like. I know that there are much worse airports out there, and I agree ATL and ORD are INSANE! It seems as though every time I have that routing, I have problems with ridiculously short connections. The previous time I went through DTW, I missed my connecting flight due to a sucession of delays (both weather and mechanical). I was forced to spend the night in Detroit, and NW refused to pay for my hotel since the cause of the longest delay was weather, although I would have made my connection if not for the subsequant mechanical delay. The GA handing out the packets to the pax who did not make connections was rude. I couldnt get a flight out until 11 am the next day, and then they couldnt even get me from DTW to OMA. I had to go DTW-MSP-OMA. I must just have bad karma at DTW.
