Frequently asked about MSP
How do I get between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at MSP?
Take the METRO Blue Line light rail one stop. The ride between the two terminal stations is free, takes about 4 minutes, and runs every 10 to 15 minutes. There's no shuttle bus alternative inside the airport, so allow time to clear security again at the second terminal.
Does the light rail go all the way to Mall of America?
Yes. The Blue Line continues from Terminal 2 directly to Mall of America in another 5 minutes. Northbound, it runs to downtown Minneapolis in about 25 minutes. Trains run every 10-15 minutes during the day and roughly every 30 minutes late at night.
Which terminal does Sun Country use?
Sun Country Airlines is based at Terminal 2 (Humphrey) and operates almost all of its flights from there. It's the airline's home airport and corporate headquarters, so you'll find its largest schedule and most leisure routes departing from T2.
Is there a hotel attached to MSP?
The InterContinental Minneapolis-St Paul Airport is connected to Terminal 1 via skyway, accessible after security from concourse C. Other hotel clusters are along American Boulevard in Bloomington, served by free hotel shuttles or the light rail.
