๐ข Terminal Information
Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport operates as Delta Air Lines' primary Upper Midwest hub through two main terminals connected by the Metro Transit Light Rail Blue Line, providing efficient ground transportation between facilities. Terminal 1 (Lindbergh Terminal) is the larger facility handling the majority of airline operations including all Delta Air Lines flights, most major carriers, and international services, while Terminal 2 (Humphrey Terminal) primarily serves Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, and select other carriers.
Terminal 1 features two main concourses connected by moving walkways and shuttle services, with Concourse C serving primarily Delta's domestic hub operations and Concourse G accommodating Delta's international flights along with other carriers. The terminal's design emphasizes Minnesota's natural beauty and cultural heritage with extensive use of local stone, wood, and art installations throughout. Terminal 2 offers a more compact layout focused on domestic operations with efficient processing for point-to-point carriers.
Security processing in Terminal 1 includes multiple checkpoints serving different concourse areas, with TSA PreCheck and CLEAR lanes available at main checkpoints. Wait times typically range from 15-25 minutes during standard periods but can extend to 45-75 minutes during peak morning departure banks, evening arrival waves, and winter weather events that frequently impact Upper Midwest travel. Terminal 2 features streamlined security designed for Southwest's rapid turnaround operations.
International operations are concentrated in Terminal 1's Concourse G, featuring comprehensive customs and immigration facilities including Global Entry kiosks and standard CBP processing areas. The airport serves as an important gateway to Europe, particularly Scandinavia, reflecting the region's cultural heritage, along with domestic connections throughout Delta's extensive network. Passengers transferring between terminals must exit the secure area, take the Light Rail (approximately 10-15 minutes including walking time), and re-clear security.
Both terminals showcase Minnesota's distinctive culture with amenities including restaurants featuring local favorites like Jucy Lucy burgers, craft beer from Minnesota breweries, and regional specialties, retail shops highlighting Minnesota sports teams, outdoor recreation gear, and locally-made products, and multiple airline lounges including Delta Sky Clubs in Terminal 1. The airport emphasizes its connection to Minnesota's outdoor recreation heritage with exhibits and amenities reflecting the state's lake country, while providing modern facilities including free Wi-Fi, abundant charging stations, family amenities with nursing rooms and children's play areas, and accessibility features designed for travelers with disabilities.

๐ข Terminal Information

The airport operates from a single, modern terminal building designed for efficient passenger processing and comfort.
