To and From the Airport

Airplane

Detroit Metropolitan International Airport (DTW) is only 20 miles from Ann Arbor, which is an approxmiate 45- minute drive (at the most). Current travel guidelines suggest arriving at least 2 hours before your flight! Major hubs are Delta, Spirit, and US Air.

Michigan Flyer The Michigan Flyer fleet is one way to get to and from DTW. Prepaid the fare is $15 one way/$25 round trip. Tickets purchased at the coach are $18. The Michigan Flyer runs 9 nines a day. For questions, call 517-333-0400.

airBus The cheapest way to travel back and forth from the airport is to use the Central Student Government (or CSG) airBus service, with pick-up in 3 locations around campus. Note that this shuttle only runs prior to scheduled UM school breaks. The CSG airBus to the DTW Airport charges students with a Mcard $9 if they buy their ticket in advance, and $11 if they board the bus without a reservation (reserve your spot here). To return to U-M after break, there’s no need to buy a ticket. You just swipe your Mcard when you get to the bus stop and $11 is charged to your student account, NOT your Blue Bucks account! Non-reserved seats are also sold on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be charged to your student account. All return trips from the airport to Ann Arbor are non-reserved seats and are charged to your student account.

Additional Options The Ann Arbor Convention Visitor's Bureau maintains a listing of airport shuttle options.
