Do I need a visa to fly from Salt Lake City to Detroit?

It depends on your nationality, not on the route — two travellers on the same Salt Lake City → Detroit flight can face completely different entry rules. Check the destination country’s official immigration site or your foreign-ministry travel advice for your passport, and do it before booking: some destinations require a visa obtained in advance, others issue visas or waivers on arrival.

How many bags can I take on flights from Salt Lake City to Detroit?

Whatever the fare you buy includes — baggage is set by the carrier and fare class, not the route, and the carriers on this pair (Delta Air Lines) price bags very differently. Low-cost fares usually include cabin bags only and charge per checked bag; full-service fares typically include at least one. Compare totals with your bags added, because a dearer fare with bags included is often cheaper overall.
