Default Detroit Airport is NOT a valid address for “service” of a Small Claims complaint

At the risk of stating the obvious, I would NOT try having your complaint delivered to any address at DetroitAirport. The Small Claims magistrate could, possibly, throw-out your case on the basis that Delta had not been properly served. The address in East Lansing, InghamCounty appears to be the correct address.

If travel to the East Lansing area is possible, I would plan on having the court appearance there, rather than in WayneCounty. To appear in the East Lansing area you need only prove that East Lansing is Delta's legal service address. You'll have that proof through a website print-out and a certified mail return receipt from your "Demand Letter." Proving the geographic location of the "cause of action" (thus allowing an appearance in WayneCounty) is harder. In East Lansing you need only establish, to the satisfaction of the magistrate, that Delta is responsible for your losses.
