REAL ID Information
Beginning May 7, 2025, you’ll need a REAL ID or another approved form of identification to fly within the U.S.
REAL ID is a federal initiative that sets standards for state-issued IDs, including driver's licenses. Airline passengers will be required to have a REAL ID-compliant form of ID to clear TSA security checkpoints at U.S. airports.
Airport Arrival Time
Security checkpoint wait times listed on this web page can change rapidly. Please arrive at MSP two hours before domestic flights and three hours prior to international travel. This allows for enough time to check your bags, be screened and arrive at your gate.
