Actually DET is Coleman Young / Detroit City Airport. DTT is the city code for Detroit including both DTW and DET - even though there is no scheduled service out of DET any more. It also includes YIP (Willow Run)
I've always wondered why NW tickets refer to DTT instead of DTW. Has NW ever operated out of DET?
