    (Airport Tour #22) Here's a tour of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, Delta's third-largest hub and the former base of Northwest Airlines. I was very impressed with MSP; a lot of thought went into the airport's interior design, and the airport essentially has its own mall near terminals E, F, and G. Hope you enjoy!

    MSP really is one of the nicest airports in the US. Lots of shops and really good food choices. This is a metropolitan area that has a hard tine doing anything badly!

      AGREED! I remembered a few years ago when i had a 4 hour layover there! Such a fun airport to explore, shop and eat at!

    Did you know the movie "Airport" was filmed at MSP in 1970? In the movie it was called Lincoln Int. Airport.

    Of all the airports I have flown in the U.S., Minneapolis really stands out to me for its terminal and customer service. I remember connecting here back in August 2013 on a flight to Amsterdam and the restaurant and airline staff were so friendly.

    I took a flight out of MSP to AMS back in March and while watching this video, I remembered that the gate my plane was at was G9, the gate seen at 4:20. I also have a picture of the plane parked at the gate that looks nearly identical to the shot of the plane at 4:20.

  • @lukesinsigalli9045
    @lukesinsigalli9045 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The B and A gates are looking great! When connecting in MSP, I strongly recommend booking a long layover and hanging out at the A and B gates because they are never busy, have great views and a good place to get work done

    The house that you filmed outside the fence are from the old Fort Snelling that use to be there, now the land is split between the National Cemetary, the old fort on the mississippi, and the National Gaurd Air Wing

    this very huge "mansions" are old barracks and buildings from a 1800s fort called Fort Snelling. Those particular buildings were added in the early 20th century and were used as administrative buildings. THey are now being redeveloped.

    I haven't been to MSP since 1999 or 2000. We often flew Northwest airlines, when going to visit family in Lafayette, Indiana. Leaving from Ontario, Ca, we would catch a connecting flight at MSP, down to Indianapolis.

      It was great terminal 2 was easy and smaller than terminal 1 but loved the variety of shopping and food options. staff was friendly and helpful with questions. Even tsa was a breeze, now Tampa airport was very large and had to ask for directions to find the rental car area. MSP tsa let me wear jewelry through the scanners but when I did the same in Tampa they had to do a pat down because of it....

    • @ShaneVanHoven
      @ShaneVanHoven 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. It is Fort Snelling National Historic sight. On the north side of the airport, there is Fort Snelling National Cemetery, and down the hill towards the river on the east side, is more forts with house-like buildings.

      Of course KLM still exists. They started flying back here in March, after a 16 year pause. They will fly from March to October. They have started flying here. www.startribune(dot)com/klm-will-start-flying-between-msp-and-amsterdam-again/396997581/

    My brother flew here to LAX to visit me, and flew on Delta out of MSP, but I still miss MSP's hometown airline, Northwest Airlines. As we all know, NWA merged with Delta.

    • @KBurchfiel
      @KBurchfiel  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alas, the airline industry has its way of dissolving historic airlines. Do you notice how Delta's logo is now tilted Northwest? At least they're paying NW homage.

  • @TwinkieGurlMeowMeow
    @TwinkieGurlMeowMeow 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    It was mostly Northwest Airlines back in the days until Delta bought them. Also, the airport is less than 5 minutes drive to the MALL OF AMERICA!

    • @TheKazperz
      @TheKazperz 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      KBurchfiel they did massive renovations to the whole airport in the last 3 years, and those mansions are from the old Fort Snelling compound from way back in the day, now the national cemetery is on the other side

    • @datamasked623
      @datamasked623 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      KBurchfiel MSP is better than many major hub airports. I think they'd be wise to expand or relocate the airport further away from the city, though. They're starting to get more international traffic there though. I know Air France flies there now (at least seasonally). That is a big deal. But it's location is just putrid if you are a resident! Can you imagine having to deal with all that plane traffic all hours of the day? Denver moved their airport way outside the city and expanded it, I think partly to accommodate heavies and increased traffic. MSP just feels small. But that's my opinion. It's a really, REALLY nice airport though.

    • @aviator1228
      @aviator1228 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Eric Pederson I agree with you. This is a super nice airport. Also as far as expanding I agree with you. I used to work here, and while I was there, there were talks that they were looking to build near Farmington, MN which is south of it's current location.

    • @RIPBoomerang
      @RIPBoomerang 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      MSP is a lot larger than it looks, or based on what people say. Personally, I think the location of the airport is pretty good. 1) They have a ton of space and a generous-sized parking garage. 2) MSP is about a 10-15 minute drive from Minneapolis-St. Paul: The "Twin Cities", so it's technically not "in the cities". 3) The airport is extremely modern, and is actually quite beautiful. 4) Lastly, I just think MSP is an overall great airport.
