Fly from San Francisco International to Detroit

Detroit is a mid-sized city located at the border between the United States and Canada in the state of Michigan. It is the largest city at the border and in the state, and is an important port that serves the Great Lakes via the Detroit River. Detroit has experienced difficulty due to a declining population and the struggles of the automotive industry, of which it is considered the worldwide capital. However, the past decade has seen the birth of a renaissance for this city thanks to the efforts of residents, who spearheaded an urban gardening movement, the technologically-significant switch to all-LED lighting, and wide-ranging renovations of the beautiful historic buildings that populate downtown.
