As you leave the airport, you'll traverse the well-maintained I-94, passing through stretches of urban landscape mixed with patches of lush greenery. Look out for iconic landmarks like the sprawling campus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn and the historical buildings that reflect the city's rich architectural heritage, especially as you draw closer to downtown.

For a smooth experience, aim to travel outside of rush hours, particularly between 7:30 AM and 9 AM or 4 PM and 6 PM, when traffic can slow down considerably. At the airport, the pickup area for private transfers is typically well-signposted and located outside the terminals.
