DTW → GRB
Which side of the plane to sit from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (Detroit) to Austin Straubel International Airport (Green Bay)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of Michigan's 'Thumb' region and the spectacular Door County Peninsula as you descend into Green Bay.
Detroit Skyline
Clear views of the Renaissance Center and the Detroit River separating the US and Canada.
Saginaw Bay
The distinct 'V' shape of the bay separating Michigan's thumb from the rest of the Lower Peninsula.
Door County Peninsula
The scenic, narrow strip of land separating the waters of Green Bay from the open Lake Michigan.
Lambeau Field
On the final approach to GRB, the historic home of the Green Bay Packers is often visible to the north.
The right side is essential for seeing the Door County Peninsula, which is the geographic highlight of this route. Fall is the best season for this flight to witness the vibrant foliage changes across the Michigan and Wisconsin forests.
Michigan State Capitol
Aerial view of Lansing's urban grid and the historic dome of the state capitol building.
Silver Lake Sand Dunes
Vast, rolling white sand dunes along the eastern edge of Lake Michigan near Mears.
Manitowoc Waterfront
The Wisconsin shoreline featuring the breakwater lighthouse and maritime museum ships.
Sit on the left for a better view of the sunset if flying in the evening. During departure from DTW, you may catch a glimpse of the University of Michigan's 'Big House' in Ann Arbor depending on the runway heading.
