And Now, Your Moment of Zen (from Detroit-Metro Airport)

March 8, 2012 at 6:32 PM | by | Comment (1)

If you've flown into Detroit-Metropolitan Airport in recent years, then you know about the fountain. Well, we should really rephrase that to: "if you've flown Skyteam into Detroit-Metropolitan Airport," because flights from this airline alliance are the ones privy to the magic of the water feature in the center of DTW's McNamara Terminal.

Detroit is a hub specifically for Delta, formerly the "largest airline in the world" until the United-Continental merger swept in to claim that superlative. In any case, everything from Delta Connection puddle jumpers to jumbo 747s pull up to gates at McNamara, and the design of the terminal—check out those floor-to-ceiling wide windows—practically allows you to Eskimo-kiss the aircraft.

Still, one cannot forget the fountain. Here it is, in video, in all it's make-you-wanna-pee glory:

such an effect

More airports need calming water effects like this. It would make traveling with the great-unwashed a whole lot more bearable.
