People With Special Needs / Persons With Disabilities

Wheelchair Assistance:
Airlines provide wheelchairs for use throughout the Lindbergh and Humphrey terminals. Mention your need for a wheelchair in the terminal when you make your flight reservation.  If you arrive at the airport without arrangements for a wheelchair through your airline, one may be at the information booth on the Tram Level, or ask an airline representative for assistance. Courtesy phones for persons needing wheelchair assistance are located directly across form baggage carousels 6 and 10 on the Baggage Claim Level. Just lift the receiver and you will be connected to someone who can assist you. Once past security, Travelers Assistance (TA) volunteers are also available to assist with obtaining a wheelchair. Visit a TA information booth or call 612-726-5500.
Passenger Pick-Up and Drop-Off
If you arrive at the airport by car, taxicab or limousine, use these areas for for (a) pick-up - lower level roadway/Baggage Claim, and (b) drop-off - upper level roadway/Ticketing Level. The curb cuts accommodate wheelchairs. There are also designated passenger transfer areas for persons with disabilities on both levels by doors 1, 2 and 6. Door 1 is the first door you come to as you approach the Lindbergh Terminal. However, if you arrive at the Lindbergh Terminal by commercial van or shuttle, note that unless prior arrangements have been made, these vehicles are required to drop off passengers on the east upper level roadway, across the street from terminal entrance. From there, you can take an escalator or elevator to the terminal's Tram Level or up to a skyway to ticketing.
The Humphrey Terminal has privately owned vehicle pick-up and drop-off areas along the front of the terminal. Commercial vehicles pick-up at the Ground Transport Center and may drop-off at curbside.
Electric Carts
Electric carts are available throughout Lindbergh Terminal, but are not available at Humphrey Terminal. Two companies at MSP provide this service: Northwest Airlines contracts with Globe Aviation Services, all other airlines contract with Primeflight Aviation Services. The ""cart stop"" approach was adopted at MSP to provide the best electric cart service. The cart stops are clearly marked with signs above blue chairs imprinted with the disabilities logo. The electric carts are scheduled to pick up passengers every 10-15 minutes. Find “cart stops” directly inside security and at every gate along the C, D, E, F and G concourses. Consult your airline for services elsewhere. Electric carts operated by Globe Aviation Services display signs on the cart indicating which concourses they serve. Carts operated by Primeflight Aviation Services do not display signs as its are not assigned to a specific concourse. Make sure to ask cart drivers before boarding if they are going your way.
