- MSP Airport Overview
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport MSP is close to Interstate Hwy 494 and Route 5 and is centrally located within a 30-minute drive of both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul--and within easy reach of the suburban cities of Bloomington, Eagan, Mendota Heights and Richfield. It is most important to know that the Airport's two terminals--Lindbergh & Humphrey--are NOT connected by a shared roadway system, meaning that if you come to the wrong terminal by anything other than the light rail transit system, you'll need to get back on the highway and drive to the correct terminal. Therefore, know ahead which terminal your airline is flying from! With four runways available, a host of major airlines serve MSP Airport, ten operate out of Lindbergh, four out of Humphrey--offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.
MSP has been ranked as one of best large airports in the U.S. and the world by customer satisfaction surveys. One of the reasons is the Airport’s spacious Lindbergh Terminal, a wide assortment of shops and restaurants, the ease of navigating the airport, and its many services, which are:
Airport Information & Paging, Armed Forces Service Center, Passenger Assistance Desk, Travelers Assistance Program, storage lockers, luggage delivery, a walking path, postal & package delivery, group services, Business services (conference center, business service center, TravelEx America), Technology services (internet access, charging stations, power seating), Financial services (banks, ATMs, currency exchange), Family services (children's play area, family center, nursing mothers room) and Pet Services (pet care, over-night boarding, animal relief areas).
To pick up an arriving passenger at the Airport, you have two options: either use the Cell Phone Lot on Post Road and wait until your party has collected luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb, or you can park in the short-term ramp and meet your party either (in both terminals) at pre-security caffee shops or the baggage claim, or (at Lindbergh Terminal) in the ticketing lobby at the Houlihan's restaurant.
