    MSP has some of the best airport food in the USA. Vegetarians: I recommend Lake Wine between Concourse E and F. For grab and go, French Meadow before Concourse E.

    Everything is great here. Free iPads at all@the gates and restaurants. Great food and drink ordered and served and paid all through your iPad. And yes you can surf as well

    Welcome to Minnesota! If you're on layover enjoy wine and cheese at Surdyk, or organic sandwiches and desserts from french meadows- both examples of MSP good eats. Safe travels!

    Like the high tech facilities they provide. Order your food and drinks via ipad. They have so many plugs to help you charge your devices and let you use their ipads for free

    One of my favorite airports to go through when moving through the midwest. Everything is clean and easy and even the lines move very fast for the amount of people that come through. A major hub.

    A lot larger than I thought it would be... not too crowded either time I was there... easy to get around... lots of food courts and gift shops...

    I need a map; I want a big X on where to find the food. And why is the coffee station situated in some awkward corner? I’ve bumped more elbows (& possibly backsides) today than I have in a year.

    If you are a frequent traveler and have a system, I suggest using the the North security checkpoint. The South's bin system doesn't allow for TSA friendly laptop bags; everything has to go in a bin.

    I'm not a big fan of breakfast but I love the steak and eggs at TGI Friday's. Located on the C concourse. I'm pretty sure it's the basil butter that makes this breakfast so delicious.

    There's really nothing to complain here, especially by delta! Lots of organic and gourmet food and snacks, slightly pricey but which airport isn't? One of the best airports I've been to in the US

    This airport is so huuuge & busy. I would advice to get here 2hrs early or eatlier. Check points are insanely long. Some people are still unsure of what's acceptable to pack & hold up the line.

    One of my favorite airports, but getting from one gate to another – depending on the gates – can be challenging if you have a tight connection. There are many food and retail options.

    nice airport! delta hub. be prepared to walk a lengthy distance depending on where you enter security and your gate. plan ahead if you/travelmates require a wheelchair or transport.

    Walker Art Center: The first-class center has a strong permanent collection of 20th-century art and photography, including big-name US painters and great US pop art.

    This is one of the most awesome airports in the country to get hammered at. There are so many great and unique bars that it is almost a blessing if your flight is delayed. Explore, drink, and be merry

    Go to the Aveda (airport flagship) store to get your Chakras balanced! Best way to begin a flight & it's made in MN. #OnlyInMN

    Most or all of the dining options here charge a 4.5% hospitality fee. Found a Farmer’s Fridge vending machine instead, got a caprese salad. Tasty, satisfying, and cheap for airport food!

    If you have a layover, theres no need to spend money for a hotel. Even if they dont let you spend the night at the gates you can spend a night at the cozy carpet at the baggage claim (next to plugins)

    Unless you've got lounge access; if you've got time to kill...Surdyk's is a must for a cocktail / wine and meats & cheeses. If you see me there on a Thursday afternoon leaving MSP, say hi :)

    Pick up a coupon book at the airport information desk. While there and if you can, rent a bike or walk when the weather is warm, on one of the cities green-way's which are a blast.

    If y'all don't like Delta then why do you fly on that airline? I personally LOVE Delta! The people are always great and first class is outstanding! Their Air Club is fantastic too!

    Chick-fil-A at the airport! Great airport to fly internationally to, especially Amsterdam via Delta/KLM. Security is also quick when coming back into the States

    Great airport! Make sure you will have enough time for connecting flies because it's really a very huge and a busy airport and it's so complicated.

    Best to get to MSP :90 mins to 2 hours before your domestic flight. Fewer TSA agents mean longer lines. But check out Art and new Film Room on the C Concourse... Cool...

    If you have a decent layover here, check out the golf driving range (with bar service) on the second floor just outside the main security checkpoint. Not a bad way to kill an hour or two.
  • OmÂr P.
    This airport has plenty of stores that will make you feel you are in a mall (but selling stuff with airport prices, so be aware). Anyway, I think that is a good point.

    This is one of the longest stretching airports I have ever traveled through, so budget plenty of time for connections. Gates F and G are connected through an under path which takes extra time.

    The renovations are incredible...iPads for everyone! Stop at the duty-free to spritz some perfume/cologne before you greet you loved ones. You're welc ;)

    Concourse G the most tech advanced in any US airport I've been to. iPads at every table to order food, drinks, coffee, play games or surf the net while you wait for your very delayed flight.

    Check-in online ahead of time and have your ticket sent to your mobile device. I skipped the long lines at the check-in counters and went straight to security. Win!

    In January or February, you land on top a 4-foot thick sheet of ice; may be a glacier of some type. Complimentary cross country skis when you get off the plane is a nice touch though.

    So the tram system says concourse C the whole time but definitely gets you closer to concourse A and B. The signs are confusing but you definitely travel faster using it.

    There may be secret nap mattresses in the secret observation deck in Terminal D. Stairs opposite gate D6.

    Another tip said to take the tram thing to the gates to reduce your "carbon footprint". I say walk to your gate and reduce your waistline. Buy smaller shoes to reduce your carbon footprint.

    Can we talk about the bathrooms for a second? Simply exquisite! I'd live in them if I knew how to get my mail forwarded to the right stall.

    The TSA Pre checkpoint is #4 which is more than halfway along the drop off area at the terminal. (Checkpoint #1 is the first and so on). It's a very short walk regardless though.
