To celebrate this new route, here are 5 reasons you should take advantage of the new daily flights to Detroit with WestJet: 

1. You’ll probably meet Eminem – We’re kidding, but the city is well-known for its rich history in music — whether it be rap celebrity Eminem, Motown Records’ superstars like Stevie Wonder, The Supremes and Marvin Gaye, music is embedded in Detroit’s DNA. 
    
2. Go sports! – You’ve got all four major sports represented in this city with some of the most iconic teams in America. Detroit Lions football, Tigers baseball, Piston basketball and Red Wings hockey. We may be in our Canucks era, but every fan needs to stop and take in a ‘Wings game in America’s “Hockeytown”, they are one of the original 6 NHL teams after all. 
    
3. It is no secret that ‘Motor City’ Detroit has long been known as the automobile capital of the world. Henry Ford’s assembly line method of building cars put this city (and the world on wheels) and a visit to The Henry Ford Experience is a quintessential activity any tourist must try. 
    
4. The Detroit Institute of Arts is among the top 10 museums in the United States. This museum hosts art from ancient to modern times. And with over 100 galleries available to view, including van Gogh’s Self Portrait, this museum is a must-see. 
    
5. Some of the biggest events will be taking place in Detroit over the next few years including the NCAA Final Four. Not to mention, with four stadiums, Detroit pulls in some major artists like Beyonce and Taylor Swift.
