Quick facts
Minneapolis–St. Paul International (MSP / KMSP) is one of Delta Air Lines' biggest hubs and the gateway to the Upper Midwest.
- Terminals: T1 Lindbergh (Delta, AA, UA, AS, B6, Sun Country, international) and T2 Humphrey (Southwest, Spirit, Frontier, Icelandair, Condor)

Winter
MSP is one of the best-equipped winter hubs in the US. Deicing pads run efficiently and the field rarely closes. That said, arrival delays from feeder cities still cascade — pin your full itinerary to see knock-on risk.
Lounges
- Delta Sky Club (T1, multiple — including the Concourse C location).
- Escape Lounge (T1) — Priority Pass, also accepts day-pass purchase.
- PGA MSP (T1) — golf-themed lounge with a putting green.
