    Signage is poor in the terminals, but the concourses are well done. Good drinking and shopping options. Walk instead of taking the train for a good stretch.

    If you come here to see someone off before a flight, there is only a single restaurant, nothing else. Maybe the upstairs area would be a great place to put a coffee shop and other restaurants?

    Salad; the most interesting salad is the mango salad with chicken, red peppers, green peppers, tomatilos, and a little lettuce. Find it at Tequileria near G10.

    Wanna skip all lines and get guaranteed priority boarding? Arrange wheelchair assistance. Apparently lots of wheelchair users at airports walk faster than the grim reaper.

    To get a cab out go to the lowest level. Go under the street. Then turn left at the news stand then go up.

    I cannot over-emphasize the usefulness of the family care rooms for nursing Moms, both for semi-privacy and for quiet. More airports NEED this.

    The bathrooms in the mall area are the nicest I’ve seen at an airport! Food selection could be better at MSP.

    Very easy airport to get it and out of, but make sure to arrange transportation to and from the city beforehand if you can.

    Make sure to leave extra time if taking early AM flights - security checkpoints are long - several don't open until 6 am

    Concourse G is practically in another State. So put your hiking shoes on. It's going to be a long walk to G1!

    TSA moved to one check-in point. They are absolutely unprepared for any mishap. Waited over an hour and people were cutting line and there were only two guards to help over 300 people in line #failure

    be careful not to take the metro light rail as opposed to the airport light rail - the difference isn't exactly clear and I missed my flight - GRRRR!!

    You can play pinball at the arcades in C and F terminals. Games could use some cleaning but are largely functional.

    Delta silver "elite" is allowed in the short security line next to US Airways check in. At all other checkpoints you have to stand in line with the peasants
