Where is the minneapolis airport
Airport Tour - MSP - Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport - Terminal 1
welcome to this brief tour of
Minneapolis st. Paul International
Airport code MSP MSP is a gateway
Airport for the Upper Midwest and it's
best known for the service it provides
to its largest tenant Delta Airlines MSP
is Delta's third largest Connection hub
behind Atlanta and Detroit MSP handles
more passengers than every airport in
every neighboring state combined so you
might be nervous about its complexity in
its congestion not to worry though this
tour should provide all that you need to
make your flight through MSP EEZ MSP has
two terminals and this tour focuses on
the primary terminal this C shaped
terminal which services most of M ESPYs
flights contains seven concourses all of
which are connected airside the
concourses labeled a through GE are
arranged counterclockwise so we'll start
on the northeastern end concourses
a and B handled the smallest most
regional flights for Delta connection
and other small carriers Upper Midwest
flights from small regional airports
like Lincoln Duluth Fargo and Cedar
Rapids would have arrived here each gate
area has its own seating albeit small
and many also feature a jet way so you
won't have to walk across the freezing
tarmac in the winter concourse a is part
of the main terminal building while
concourse B is separate accessible via
an underground walkway to the left at
the beginning of a both have similar
layout and size which makes for shorter
walks to your connection concourse C is
MSPs largest terminal and its home to
Delta's regional and mainline
connections to medium-sized cities
flights to my hometown of Louisville to
part here for example to help
accommodate its half mile length and
automated tram services the west central
and east parts of this concourse
accessible at low footprint stations
along the concourses southern edge the
eastern terminus of the tram lets out
near the branching entrances of
concourses a and B and the airport's
brand new Intercontinental Hotel and the
central stop lets out near a circular
food court above this food court you'll
find the entrance to an elevated walkway
complete with moving sidewalks which
connects you from concourses C to G on
the
south side of the terminal which can
save you 15 minutes and a miles worth of
walking at the western end of C you'll
find a large hall that connects the
terminals to halves this Hall contains a
dedicated shopping area with high-end
stores for luggage clothing jewelry and
accessories for a primarily domestic
airport these shopping choices are
impressive you could be forgiven for
thinking you're in a mall bolide only
buy the rolling suitcases and the banks
of departure monitors at the Hall Center
you know what I'm gonna call it the mall
Hall the mall Hall also connects to
three small cog courses concourse D
offers some delta flights from a handful
of overflow gates d features an
observation deck as well which could be
accessed by stairs on the left as you
enter this single room concourse
concourses E and F jut out from the mall
halls west side concourse E's 16 gates
feature flights aboard several non Delta
carriers including American Alaska
frontier spirit air Canada and United
which has a United Club on the north
side concourse F offers service for Sky
team partners flying internationally as
well as miscellaneous domestic Delta
flights both E and F offer a great view
of the airfield and you can see
interesting aircraft movements on three
of MSPs four runways this Lee is Delta
centered concourse G located at the
southern end of the mall hall concourse
G is structured differently with a
handful of gate clusters spread out
across the southern side many of Delta's
intercontinental destinations depart
from the two western clusters from gates
G 1 through G 10 including nonstop
service to Paris Amsterdam Tokyo and
Seoul the three eastern clusters provide
service on mainline aircraft to large
cities and other Delta Airlines hubs the
main artery of concourse G is lined with
moving sidewalks punctuated by nodes on
the southern side with quick food
options restrooms and communal seating
areas that service several gates at a
time the walkway I mentioned earlier
also connects to G at its eastern end
MSP features a second terminal located a
mile southwest of the main terminal the
second terminal hosts Southwest Airlines
JetBlue icelandair Condor and the Twin
Cities own Sun Country Airlines which
offers low-cost travel to over a dozen
year-round destinations and about 40
seasonal destinations connections
involving the primary terminal and the
secondary terminal will require you to
transit outside of security but
thankfully it's easy and it's cheap
outside security you can take the
four-minute underground service between
the two terminals free of charge trains
run every 10 to 15 minutes 24/7 for most
of its passengers MSP is their gateway
to and from the smaller towns and cities
of the Upper Midwest but it's more than
that with its range of destinations
excellent dining and shopping options
and modern streamlined terminal MSP is a
world-class airport nestled in a humble
setting complete with a heavy helping of
Midwestern practicality and charm
