Traveling to Minneapolis

Airport Serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul Region

The Minneapolis Convention Center is just 15 minutes northwest of the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) located across two terminals:

Terminal 1 – formerly Lindbergh Terminal, servicing: Air Canada, Air France, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Great Lakes Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways.

Terminal 2 – formerly Humphrey Terminal, servicing: Air Tran Airways, Condor, Icelandair, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines and Sun Country Airlines.

Travelers who need to transfer from one terminal to the other use the light rail transit service. Trains operate 24 hours a day between terminals. No fare is required between airport stations. There is no pedestrian access between the buildings.

Ground Transportation to and from Downtown Minneapolis

(NOTE: The Terminal 1-Lindbergh Ground Transportation booth on Level T is staffed seven days a week from 6 a.m. to midnight. Staff provides information, directions and other assistance to travelers.)

Super Shuttle offers service from the MSP airport to the downtown Minneapolis hotels.

Taxi Service is available outside the baggage claim area. Travel time from the airport to downtown Minneapolis hotels is 20 minutes without traffic. Fees vary from $32.00 to $42.00 one way depending on traffic.

Light Rail Service is available from the airport to the downtown area; however, light rail stops are not close to the Minneapolis Convention Center or the hotels used for the meeting.

Public bus service is available through Metro Transit.

Rental car counters are available at both airport terminals. Click here for directions, parking instructions and maps from the airport to the Convention Center.

International Attendees

If you are from a country other than the United States, you will need a valid passport or visa to attend the meeting. Plan accordingly, visas can take up to three months to obtain. The U.S. government is working to expedite visa processing; however, we encourage you to plan ahead to avoid any delays. Note: U.S. legislation requires foreign nationals to provide to air carriers a valid U.S. address during their stay prior to departure of their U.S.-bound flight. Most airlines require a passport number, as well as a valid U.S. address for the passenger’s stay, at the time of booking.
