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.- A SFebruary 4, 2013In 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.
Alecia Smith-RealtorAugust 14, 2013Want to do a shopping trip to the Mall of America? Easy access from MSP to the Mall of America. Jump on the train and you will be there in less than 10 mins.
- humphrey terminal 2 is a lot simpler to get in and out of. serves southwest and sun country
Fitz BaileyAugust 10, 2013Can 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.
RebeccaOctober 13, 2013Talked to an employee at the food court who overheard my convo with a friend- subway is way less expensive than the sandwiches at the Concourse G Food Court. Better deAl and say true!
Karen JohnsonJuly 13, 2017This is a nice airport. It appears that it is expanding. This is one of Delta!s hub
I'm all about the sushi at wok n roll. Inexpensive and consistently good.
Aaron DrevlowDecember 26, 2014When your flights delayed on f concourse n you have three kids. Barricade yourself at the entrance to Lucky Lindy's and let the kids run around. Lots of blinking lights.
Michael BurlisonNovember 24, 2013If you're the type of person that gets upset when the person in front of you reclines their seat, I hope you get over yourself one day and start reclining. :)
Laura GaulkeApril 17, 2013Airport is gorgeous. Lots of good restaurants and shops. Free wifi. Lots of outlets. But it is huge...so do be careful to leave enough time to get to gate.
Megan BrownSeptember 11, 2019Really hard to find the rental cars. Keep following signs to ground transportation and good luck!
One of my favorite airports here in the U.S. Can't complain about the layout of the Terminals and they are easy to navigate. The restaurant "Chili's Too" in G Terminal is excellent.
If you're renting a car, you'll get lost with the signs. A few rentals are off site, but the main companies are on the 2nd or 3rd floor following a long walk through the terminal.
Arjan TimmermansAugust 9, 2014Perfect for an international layover. Easy and fast to get from one gate to the other. Use the people mover that stretches across the airport.
Pablo MerinoAugust 6, 2014Really a wonderful airport. iPads on the tables and a many places to spend time. Also a lot of wall plugs and USB charging ports
Gluten-free vegetarians: Caribou Coffee in Concourse B sells a tasty Southwestern Black Bean salad. Hopefully the other Caribous in MSP have them, too!
Do a Foursquare check in at the individual concourse or gate that you're in to get better, localized tips.
Stephanie RathburnSeptember 26, 2013Try the "secret" security checkpoint on the rental car level if you do not have to check a bag. Super nice TSA folks and no waiting in line!
Adam NowekJanuary 15, 2016Large, ugly airport. Every single place to sit down has gone completely overboard with iPads at every seat. I know they're trying to be futuristic, but it's just cheesy.
Aaron HancockNovember 26, 2012Visit the armed forces service center. They will take care of you there. I'm staying the night in their bunk room tonight. Very comfy bed!
Get a workout while charging your phone and get free Internet access, great idea!
Use checkpoint 6 if you're looking for the shortest line. Also the new coffee shop at the end of G is good as well as Taglia/Custom Burgers at the beginning of G are awesome!
Andy StricklandSeptember 17, 2018Great airport, trams to and from rental cars, easy to get around, not too busy at security.
Matt NiblettOctober 9, 2013If you're in terminal one and have some time to kill and need power, there's a really nice area with tables and power outlets in concourse D.
Eat at Surdyks mini deli in thr shopping area. Awesome food, wine and microbrews. Beats everything else to eat hands doen. (not chrap tho). Also sandwiches on the go!
Winnie SentyMarch 17, 2018Ask people who know the airport which way your gate is so that you can decide whether to go by tram, walk, ride.
TSA lane at checkpoint 6 versus 4 is 1/10th the length as not advertised on signs. Also has a body scan for my knee replacement versus checkpoint 4 that requires a pat fown!
KR ColemanOctober 8, 2011Simple planning makes the difference, get there early and grab a good seat and do some people watching. Takes the stress out of worrying about security delays. Don't sweat the small stuff!
Daniel ScottSeptember 3, 2014Rock Bottom Brewery: This place rocks! Excellent food and service. Try their Chicken Santa Fe Salad; It will not disappoint your appetite :)
Volante on Gold Concourse! Food is excellent & offered in digital UX environment #ipad #power #quick
If you're on G concourse with time to spare, check out mini museum at point where you get to G7 and beyond. Who doesn't love a loon fact?!
Posey VanderburgApril 28, 2017First time I have been in this hub very nice got ipads at each table cool
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011Stretch out your legs at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with their walking path. The 1.4 mile track leads you around the airport, and is easy to follow with green dots to stay on track.
The airport now has free wifi! If you're looking for a quiet place to chill, go upstairs above the mall (right after you go through security).
Make sure to check out the G concourse. It is like a downtown hip hangout! Go all the way to the end.
Name another American airport that has pedal bike parking. Take your time, I’ll wait,
AyiKwei PerryMay 24, 2013This is one nice airport, take a walk through the airport to enjoy the shops if you have a long layover. Annnd they have a Chik-fila
Huge kudos to the Courtesy transport carts and their very pleasant drivers here. I had only minutes between flights (weather delays). So very awesome.
Candid CuisineJune 25, 2015I loved the airport here. It's so unique and there's a Fox studios souvenir shop too
howsabout when forming a line you don't extend the line into the concourse thru-way and block walking travelers? mmm'k? particularly at the caribou coffee in concourse F.
I love all the whiners who complain about "no free wi-fi" in the terminals. Things costs money. Get over it, or ask your congressman to raise everyone's air fees to cover your Skype addiction.
Jana A. KriJune 1, 2016Kinda small and crowded, but as long as you safe and alive, it's good enough. They have some cool "indie" shops in the duty free zone.- MSP is one of the must stops flying out of GRB; cross your fingers you don't land at Gates A-B and depart out of Gates E-F ... it's a hike!
DoubleTree by HiltonSeptember 27, 2011Pick your shoes and then your clothes while packing to coordinate the same shoes with multiple outfits and save space. For more travel tips and fun, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!
Such a good airport: good moving walkway signage, chik fil a, French meadow bakery, and such big and clean bathrooms in terminal F.
Can be confusing at times, it’s huge. But plenty of food options and always nice and friendly staff
