Chicago to Detroit . About This Page:

[poohbear.u.k.]

We are possibly considering flying from London to Chicago on AA & driving to Detroit to see friends before we fly down to WDW in November. Could anyone tell me if this is a fairly easy trip & also how long it would take us? Map point quotes about 4 hours, is this quite accurate? Our alternative is to fly Northwest direct to Detroit. I'd appreciate any info. & comments.

TIA
Lisa.

I'd say your biggest concern would be weather. Since it is November, you may be lucky, but you never know. You definately don't want to be driving that far in bad weather. That would be my worry. Maybe someone who lives around there could chime in. Loobyoxlip lives in Michigan - I think she could probably help. If you don't get much help here, try posting in the sunroom - it seems more people read that area. Good luck!!

I agree with the weather aspect, although I live 8 hours north of Detroit. I know their winters down there are much milder, and the main roads are usually not that bad, but I still wouldn't risk it especially not knowing what the weather will be like at that time.

We live in between Chicago & Detroit. The trip would probably be more like 5 hours. I doubt that weather would be too much of an issue, but it is a possibility. Unless you're getting a really awesome deal on your flight or you have a real desire to see Chicago (which is an awesome place to visit), I'd probably just fly into Detroit.

Hope this helps a little.

for your input. We've today booked our flights with Northwest flying direct into Detroit.
