[edit] Perfect

I believe this article is pretty close to perfect. It's an example for every page. I give it A-Class rating.--Golich17 21:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

To get to A-status, this page would need far more citations/references.Gittinsj 01:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)gittinsj

[edit] Gerald Ford Terminal?

"The Wayne County Airport Authority has formally announced on December 28 to change the name of the North Terminal in honor of Michigan native and now deceased former president Gerald Ford to the Gerald Ford Terminal." I cannot find any reference to such a name change on metroairport.com or the websites of the Detroit Free Press or Detroit News. A Google search for "Gerald Ford Terminal" gets no hits. Is there a source for this? 63.76.231.130 04:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I heard that WXYZ 7 News announced that this was going to happen. I couldn't find anything on any of the local news station websites, as well as a Yahoo! and Google search, and a search through the metroairport website.--68.41.96.184 22:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I emailed Detroit Metropolitan Airport. According to the person who emailed me back, the terminal has not been named yet, and their were no considerations of any names at the time. The person said the terminal will most likely be named near opening date which will be most likely in July 2008.--Golich17 20:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1>2>3 PARK

Metro Airport recently had the new 1>2>3 PARK concept posted on their website. It will soon show up at the "Big Blue Deck" and parking lots. The McNamara Terminal parking garage will have it in the summer. It's not a matter of it being an instructional manual, it's a fact.--Golich17 02:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

The way it was written, it looked like an instruction manual (actually it looked like it was copied directly from the airport website). If it's re-added, it should be factual, stating that it will enable travelers to pay by swiping a credit card. DB (talk) 04:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beijing Service

As direct flights are only supposed to be shown as international ones with no plane change, shouldn't Beijing be removed? Leg one is from DTW-PEK on a 747-400 and the second leg onwards to PEK is on an Airbus A330-200. Clearly its not a true direct flight if it involves such an aircraft change.

Yes, you are correct.Gittinsj 06:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)gittinsj

I have removed Beijing from the list since it requires a plane change. Bucs2004 23:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brussels and Düsseldorf date change

According to the link from Northwest Airlines [1] the Brussels and Düsseldorf routes have been changed to June 5 for Düsseldorf and June 15 for Brussels. Anyone what to put any input in this? Spongefan 22:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
