Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from DTW to FAI last minute?
Booking your flight from DTW to Fairbanks Intl. Airport at the last minute could save you cash if you're lucky enough to find an epic deal. However, tickets usually don't come down in price as the departure date nears. If you procrastinate, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you'd prefer to play it safe, book well ahead of when you want to leave. In fact, Expedia has some of the biggest deals up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.

With Fairbanks Intl. Airport (FAI), Metro Field Airport (MTX) and Wainwright Army Airfield Airport (FBK) to choose from, flying from Detroit to Fairbanks is a cinch. The city's busiest terminal, Fairbanks Intl. Airport (FAI), is roughly 8 kilometers west of the downtown area.
