- Thanks for watching this brief tour of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport!
As a lifelong traveler, I never get tired of the process of boarding a plane going somewhere new and exciting, and one of the little pleasures I enjoy is seeing a new airport on my way to my destination.
Minneapolis Saint-Paul International Airport serves more passengers than every airport in each neighboring state, and it acts as a hub for Delta Air Lines and its regional affiliate Delta Connection for the Upper Midwest. MSP is a great airport to transit, spend some time in, or start your journey anew, with an interesting layout, lots of options for food and shopping, and good planespotting, too. This regional hub is home to its own airline, Sun Country Airlines, which offers dozens of seasonal destinations.
This tour focuses on the primary terminal of the airport, Terminal 1. This terminal contains seven concourses that serve Delta Air Lines and other airlines, including domestic and international carriers. The airport also features several areas throughout the airport where you can shop and relax.
Whether you've got forty minutes or four hours, MSP has what you need to make your visit pleasant and memorable.
Airports are our gateway to the world, and I hope you enjoy this and other airport tour videos from Miles by Foot!

Absolutely beautiful video of MSP! I think once the weather warms up a little up that way I hope to make a few overnight or 3 day trips up to MSP though 2020 to explore the airport and hotel on the field ( of course much of that will depend on the current state of affairs affecting travel... ). Thank you for producing this great video and letting us come along through the terminal! All the best from the west coast of Florida USA!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! It's a great airport to transit, and everything I've heard ranks the hotel very well. You get great views of the field from there, and theres enough traffic that you can have a really great experience!
MSP is probably one of my favorite airports. And the airport is beautiful early in the morning because it’s so silent with no people there and with the music playing on the speakers make it so peaceful.
I love an early morning flight, just as the world's waking up. Something both soothing and exciting about it.
I often connect in MSP and always feel at home when passing through. Fantastic airport!
I think that's why I like MSP; it always feels like a home airport, even if it's your first trip there. :)
I never thought I'd ever miss being in airports and being able to travel, but here I am. Watching MSP videos and walkthroughs because I miss it, even though I don't live very far from the airport. Thanks for sharing this!
For me, at least, I took the ease and safety of modern travel for granted. I'll do my best to avoid that once we can all travel again!
YESSSSS
Just flew into this airport, one of my favorite airports. Its a giant mall :)
The Mall of America is right across the street, too!
Both those places are in Hennepin County, MN. Mall of America is in the city limits of Bloomington, MN while MSP Int'l Airport is in what it looks like an unincorporated area of that county, but it's actually Fort Snelling which is an unorganized territory of Hennepin County, MN.
I’m proud to be a Minnesotan.
You certainly should be! :)
This video is not just a perfect tour of this incredible airport, but it also serves well as a great tool to navigate through it. I got a connecting flight from Boston to LAX there this summer with Delta, and this video helped me immensely! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻✈️
I'm so glad! That makes my day.
It is now tradition to come back to this video
Let it be written.
Had a 15 hour overnight layover in MSP and I can't think of any other airport that I'd rather get stuck in. It was a huge treat.
If it's gotta happen, MSP is a good place to have extra time!
@@MilesByFoot You got that right! I felt very fortunate. Lots of good food choices and some fair accomodations for sleep or rest if you can't go to hotels.
I’ve been here it’s AMAZING it’s so fun there!!
I used to live in Minneapolis and always enjoyed visiting my hometown airport, when traveling. This airport is clean, very efficient, and huge! Lots of choices when it comes to dining, shopping, relaxing, or just hanging out. MSP has all of the latest airport passenger technology to keep you moving, while preventing you from missing your flight. And the parking is indeed vast. So vast I have gotten lost trying to find my vehicle on a few occasions. It's always important to write down or take a photo of what row and level your vehicle is parked. The price for long term and short term parking is quite reasonable in comparison to other major cities. Additionally, the light rail station, at the airport, makes it extraordinarily convenient, when traveling to Downtown Minneapolis. It is quick, safe, clean, and easy. I hope you enjoy your visit to the Twin Cities
As promised, I’m back
Great video. I will be traveling to MSP and the information you have given has really helped. Many Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
so touching for an excellent video
Great Tour! MSP Is consistently voted one of the top airports in the US. I always love my home state airport! It's so easy to navigate!
I love passing through there, too! A family favorite.
I am making a model of KMSP and this video helps a lot!
Oh, awesome! I know for me, looking inside, and not just looking at a map or aerial view, makes a ton of difference for fleshing out the space, much more than you might think!
MSP is probably my favorite airport in the USA.
i just had a layover at this airport yesterday. it was so busy!!
I bet so! Things are ramping up for spring break, I'm sure!
very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent information. Now I know when I get off at Spirit I will need to take the underground train to Suncountry! That alone saved me so much time and agony!
I am from SW Indiana and fly out of SDF all the time. Thanks for the information about the airport!
Nice! I just released an SDF video today, in fact!

I liked it! I'm here @ MSP right now with a "long-ish" layover, decided to explore, but rather than continue blindly as I was (lol!) figure best thing to do was to watch some videos, and from what I've seen so far, this video resumes/describes very well and makes me feel like, don't need to see any more videos and I'm ready for it! Thank you 🤗!
MSP is one of my favorite airports that I've been too. I am looking forward to going back there one day to shop for some say luggages.
Thank you for this video. I might have to fly to Fargo from Los Angeles this fall and will have to change planes at this airport. This has helped me get a great idea of what to expect.
Delta used to be based in Minnesota. Changed so many things when they moved to Atlanta.
"Northwest" was based in Minnie, not DL.
I like your channel, thanks
I'm so glad!
I recently had a little more detailed Tour at Minnesota Ace Camp. Went literally everywhere!
Awesome!
The Mall Hall does actually have a name, the MSP Mall 😁
That makes perfect sense!
Thank sharingbe first time heading this be going north Dakota Air Port here a mall
Hope you enjoy it!
Once you go past security, it's an awesome airport. Before the security gates, it's just the check in counters. Wish there were restaurants outside of the security gates. Would be nice to have a meal with your friends and family before they leave. MSP is the only airport I've been to that doesn't have anything restaurants outside of the security gates. Also, would like a better baggage claim/ waiting area. The current baggage claim area is so small and feels like a dungeon.
I've found that more and more airports are moving most or all of their services past security. Maybe it's always been like that and I've just noticed it more, but I like having something landside while I wait!
My home airport! Great video dude!
Glad you enjoyed! :)
MSP Terminal 1 is the main terminal of MSP Int'l Airport that mainly handles commercial aviation while Terminal 2 handles both commercial and general aviation, but Terminal 2 is shaped like a general aviation terminal. Correct me if I'm wrong.
My dad used to live in Minnesota with his former sponsors before he moved to Vancouver, Washington state. He was born in Cambodia.
Hey, to correct you on the thing you said at the beginning about MSP being the third largest Delta hub. MSP is actually the second largest Delta hub by passenger count, after Atlanta. By size, however, MSP is in fact third largest like you said. Either way, great video!!
While there are different definitions, I tend to mean "number of flights" when considering size, but both are valid!
Weird I thought DTW was bigger then MSP
More than 40 Years Ago I used to watch My Grandparents take off to Las Vegas NV from MSP on Delta former Carrier Northwest Airlines and I flew on Northwest in 1976 or 1977 #Fact
Great video
Thank you!
i miss minnesota sm
It's such a nice to place to travel to, and travel through!
Not long ago I saw (and it used to be daily) a a340 Air France plus last winter I saw it land and takeoff
They're big planes! Four-engine planes are getting less and less common; in fact, AF phased out their A340s earlier this year. :(
You’re awesome! Louisville Kentucky? I live in Lexington.
Awesome! KLEX is a nice airport, too ;)
I love
And I’m back
I’m going on a plane for the first time by myself and I’m so scared I’m going to get lost and freak out on the plane
How exciting! I'm sure you'll be very safe, and I can assure you that someone will help you if you get lost, but there are signs everywhere at airports!
Can you do a tour Fort Lauderdale and Miami and buffalo and ATL and Philadelphia and Tampa
I love how you edit! :)
Thank you!
I somehow keep coming to this video
Maybe that's your sign to visit the Upper Midwest!
@@MilesByFoot went to the airport yesterday!
Nice video, I wish you wiped the lens though. My OCD going through the roof rn lol
That makes two of us! D:
I'm looking at some inexpensive tickets but I'm worried about the short layover in MSP. I'll be arriving from CID so that sounds like concourses A or B. Then I only have 46 minutes to catch my next flight to Paris which would be concourse G. I'm somewhat handicapped and walk with a cane. Is that enough time to make my flight or does anyone have suggestions on how to transfer quickly?
That seems short. If both flights are booked on Delta/Air France, *they* think you can make it, but that might not be the case. G and A/B are connected by a walkway, but the international flights usually close boarding 20-30 before departure. Even with a lift from a mobility cart, it'd be too close for my personal comfort. If they went the long way around, it wouldn't be great.
This is a judgment call, but even a small delay departing Cedar Rapids would jeopardize the trip, and I personally wouldn't book an international connection that short, no matter the airport, airline, or circumstances. Just too many factors to work against for a pleasant experience.
I'm flying from SDF to MSP in 3 weeks and only have 44 mins layover in MSP to SFO. What is the quickest way to get from concourse C to F?
There's a people mover to assist you getting from one end of C to the other. If you're way down C, towards the A and B gates, use the people mover all the way to the end, then hang a left. Go through the long hall with stores (I call it the Mall Hall in the video) and turn right to get to concourse F. You should be able to make the transfer in 10-15 minutes, at the most.
cool
In April my Brother and I will be flying out on Delta for a trip to Las Vegas, is it safe to say that I will most likely be going to the far west side of the concourse for our flight? Would there be a way for you to know what gates they tend to use for this flight? Thanks!
The gates an airline uses depend on the kind of airplane used, but high-volume, daily destinations will generally use a handful of the same gates, or at least gates near each other.
For those kinds of details, you can check sites like FlightAware (not sponsored) and search for the route. Right now, for example, that site has one of Delta's six daily MSP - LAX flights departing from gate F3. The particular flight I looked up is in the early evening, and it's departed from F3 for several days in a row, but earlier flights that day departed from F1, G11, F6, etc., so it's a safe bet it'll use that specific gate, or a gate nearby. The F gates are, indeed, on the far western side of the terminal.
Nice review but the layout of this airport is awful. Concourses A, C & G are ridiculously long and have gates on only one-side. For connections, it's a miserable experience. The low ceilings also make it feel cramped and very dated.
Like many airports, MSP has had to adapt to increased demand without getting a brand-new, from-the-ground-up facility. I think they've done a good job of making it as easy as they can. No question that when you're under stress to catch a close connection, every workaround and logistical crack they've papered over, make it harder.
is it a large airport. Can I catch Next flight after getting my luggages within an hour 45minutes
You can also take a free tram to terminal 2
You sure can!
Hello, can anyone tell me a cheap hotel close to the airport please
Minnieapolis St. Paul more like Movie Star Planet man
;)
i have a 2 hour layover here 😁
Think of E as everyone else that delta can't put to T2 I'm a TSA officer.
You bet, lots of airports that serve as hubs for an airline have a catch-all terminal, it seems!
I'm just trying to see where Senator Larry Craig was arrested at for his men's room "soft shoe." Some people take Minnesota nice too far
i live in minnesota
My condolences for your 8-month-long winter. ;)
Can you do tour msp terminal 2
I'd planned to travel via Sun Country before COVID, and while that's on hold, it's still on my list; I dislike when I can't cover a whole airport in one tour!
Terminal 2 is straight up garbage to begin with. Terminal 1 is amazing.
It could use some work, it I’ve been in worse.
Who’s gonna tell him Michigans a neighboring state…
(insert joke at upper peninsula's expense joke here)
Thank you so much ive never been on a plane before but this helped me with so much planning 🫶🥹
Wonderful!
