Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) moves into the coldest month of the year as warm-weather getaways return to the forefront of passengers’ minds. The MLK Jr. holiday weekend period, extending from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19, provides a popular opportunity to get you and yours out of the cold. As you pass through MSP, consider these recently introduced strategies to speed your way through the airport:
Drop off and pick up 🚙
Drivers continue to embrace the recently launched FLEX Lane at Terminal 1, providing drivers with an efficient alternative for drop-offs and pick-ups. At Terminal 2, give the Express Lane a run-through to expedite your service. Remember the cell phone waiting lots on Post Road to sweep in with precision timing for pick-ups.
Parking tips 🅿️
You’re encouraged to prebook your parking in MSP’s ramps and on your day of travel, you can monitor security checkpoint wait times. Find value parking rates in the Quick Ride Ramp.
Try MSP Reserve 📱
A great benefit for passengers who don’t have TSA Precheck or Global Entry is MSP Reserve. This free service allows you to reserve a spot in the TSA security lines. Find the lanes at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Plan your meals and shopping ahead of time 🍔
