Detroit Metro Airport is seeing thousands of visitors each month who are not flying. These individuals are taking advantage of the airport's free DTW Destination Pass. The pass allows non-travelers to enter the terminals, accompanying travelers to the gate.

A local mother used the pass to see her daughter off on her first solo flight. The daughter, 15, was traveling to visit relatives. The mother was initially unsure about airport protocols but learned about the pass from an airline worker.

Further details about the DTW Destination Pass and the experiences of those using it are available from the source, including a video with the full story of the mother and daughter.
