Airlines on this route
Delta Air Lines flies this route nonstop. That matters more than it sounds: the cheapest fare on one carrier is rarely the same product as the cheapest on another.

See our airline guides for exactly what each carrier charges — then send an enquiry and we'll confirm the all-in price for your dates.
Leaving from Newburgh (SWF)
Plan to be at the airport two hours before a domestic departure — ninety minutes can work at smaller airports outside peak times, but security lines are the one variable you can't control. If you're checking a bag, add time rather than cutting it close. Our Newburgh airport guide covers terminals, parking and ground transport so you can plan the trip to the airport, not just the flight.
Arriving in Detroit (DTW)

The Detroit airport guide lays out your ground options, from transit and shuttles to rideshares and rental cars. Flying back the other way? Check Detroit to Newburgh fares — prices on the return direction often move on a different rhythm.
When to book
For a trip of 478 miles, booking 2–4 weeks ahead typically lands you in the sweet spot. Leave it to the final two weeks and prices usually climb as the cheapest seats sell out. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures are where the lower fares hide on most domestic routes.
Good to know before you go
- If you're traveling with only a carry-on, you can skip the bag-drop line entirely with mobile check-in.
