Where to eat at Detroit Metro Airport’s North Terminal

 

Imagine the following scenario: You ride the tram, get through Detroit Metro Airport security, and arrive at North Terminal hungry. Now that you arrived at your specific DTW terminal, there is no sense in going back through security just to get a bite to eat. Check out some of the delicious offerings DTW North Terminal has to offer:

1.      Coffee Beanery Café. ($). Crave artisanal coffee but tired of Starbucks? Grab a turtle mocha flavored coffee or some relaxing tea while you wait for your flight.

2.      Le Petit Bistro. ($). As its name correctly states, this place is essentially a little bistro. Order a sandwich, sub, or deliciously fresh salad and enjoy a healthy lunch or dinner.

3.      Earl of Sandwich. ($). This popular chain is chock full of hearty lunch and dinner options. Pair an artisanal soup with a hand-crafted wrap and frozen lemonade and you will be good to go!

4.      TGI Friday’s. ($$). Friday’s features an American cuisine that includes hamburgers, sandwiches, steaks, salads, and seafood. Burger patties can be substituted to accommodate for vegetarian and vegan diners. Friday’s is a great location for grabbing a pre-flight cocktail.

Don’t forget to make your free online reservation with Airlines Parking. We will get you to your terminal with enough time to grab a bit to eat before your DTW flight. Stay tuned for our next post on where to eat at other Detroit Metro Airport locations.  

 

Save Big Bucks and Take a Mini-Moon!

Spring has officially arrived, and wedding season has started picking up speed! For many couples, the wedding is lovely, but spending quality time as newlyweds on a honeymoon just can’t be beat. After spending big bucks on the wedding and reception, taking an exotic three-week long honeymoon right after the wedding just isn’t feasible. A growing trend called “mini-moons” or “honey-weekends” means that you can have your cake and eat it too. Consider a shorter, cheaper vacation, right after the wedding, until you save up enough money to go all out! Depending on where you live, here are some honeymoon weekend ideas we recommend:

·         Relax on a Cruise. If you live within driving distance of a cruise port, consider a discount weekend cruise. Vacationstogo.com offers extremely discounted cruises at the last minute. Cruise vacations can be found for as little as $290 for a four day cruise on a four star ship!

·         Fly somewhere close. Leave your car in the hands of Airlines Parking and search online for discount airfare. Just taking a plane somewhere will make the destination feel exotic. Tip: Make sure your flight is non-stop so you don’t waste precious time on layovers.

·         Snag a deal on a fancy hotel. You don’t have to leave town to feel like you are away on vacation! Search discount websites such as groupon and pamper yourselves to a few nights at a beautiful hotel in your town or the closest city.

·         Discover your hometown. If your budget is really tight, you can have a splendid “staycation” right in your own backyard. Pick up a city guide and check out local attractions you and your spouse have never done—a new museum, botanical gardens, a far flung outlet mall etc. Doing things you both have never done will be a bonding experience in the same was a traditional vacation.

If your “mini-moon” involves flying to a nearby destination, make sure to make your free online reservation with Airlines Parking to ensure the lowest rates on Detroit Metro Airport parking.
