Distance and time DTW–DEN
Great-circle distance DTW–DEN is about 1,120 miles. Block time on a nonstop is typically near 2.5 hours; wind, routing, and which runway you use still move the clock. Connections on the same city pair add layover time on top of that flying.
Denver is about 2 hours behind Detroit on standard time (America/New_York vs America/Denver). Arrival clocks on DEN are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
When DTW–DEN has a nonstop, that is usually the cleanest product. One-stop options still appear — they are worth opening only if the USD total is materially lower after you count the extra ground time.
