Is it enough to transfer in Detroit and go to new york for one and a half hours?

I am an old man, too. According to my experience, I feel time is too tight. I have been to Detroit airport. It is very big. If you want to change the terminal. That's even more nervous.

I'll send you the general process and time required for connecting flights. For reference only.

Enter Detroit:

1) On the plane to Detroit, fill out the I-94 form and customs declaration form (the flight attendant will issue it to passengers).

2) After arriving in Detroit, follow people. There is only one way to get to the "Arrival Hall", line up, see immigration officials, hand in I-94, and show your passport, customs declaration and other materials (if you are visiting relatives, show your round-trip ticket). With the official approval, affix the semi-copy of I-94 to your passport (don't lose it and hand it in when you leave the country). There are many people waiting in line for this program, and it takes a long time, about 1 hour.

3) Pick up your baggage on the baggage carousel of your flight.

4) Pass the customs inspection, submit the customs report, and they conduct random inspection. One possibility is that they wave and you leave; On the other hand, you are required to put your luggage on the conveyor belt of the inspection machine. After the luggage comes, no one is looking for you, so just put it on the trolley and go. Another possibility is that after the machine inspection, if a customs officer wants to open the box for inspection, you should open your luggage on the spot and let them check it. As long as it is not the third case, generally speaking, 10 for several minutes. If it is unpacking inspection, it is difficult to estimate the time.

5) If you buy a ticket from China to new york, you should give it directly to the porter (be careful not to damage or lose the luggage tag of Delta Air Lines with the name of the airport where your luggage leaves and ends). Find your airline's conveyor belt and put it on.

6) Find your boarding gate at Detroit Airport.

If you buy a Delta air ticket, generally speaking, when boarding at China Airport, the Delta check-in counter will give you a boarding pass for connecting flight in Detroit. The boarding pass has the flight number and terminal number of Detroit-new york.

Please check the security again before entering this terminal. The length of the security queue depends on whether your time is at the peak. After entering this terminal, find your boarding gate.

In a word, it takes us old people about 2 hours to go through customs and transit in Detroit.

Don't worry too much if you can't catch the plane. Because if your flight to new york has already taken off, the airline will arrange the next flight for you. If you miss your flight, just look for the Delta Air Lines check-in counter at Detroit Airport. They'll arrange it. I had the same experience. Is to call your children and tell them.

Check your flight information, airport map, etc. Go online first, so it can be faster. Be sure to check the airline website of your flight directly, and don't listen to other people's nonsense.
