Fly from Los Angeles International to Detroit

Detroit is one of the most exciting cities to visit in the United States. This mid-sized city is the largest both in Michigan and at the border between the United States and Canada, and is also a significant port for the Great Lakes thanks to its strategic location on the Detroit River. A precipitous decline in the 20th century led to vacant buildings and reduced city services, but Detroit has bounced back in style thanks to its committed city residents who have spearheaded a number of projects to revitalize the city. A thriving urban gardening movement has inspired similar efforts in other cities, and the recent installation of all-LED street lighting has made Detroit the largest municipality to sport this environmentally-conscious and energy-efficient improvement.
