Sun Country, American, United and Delta have appeared in EazAir's fare checks for this route.

The METRO Blue Line calls at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and rides between the two terminal stations are free, need no ticket and run 24 hours a day. Metro Transit times the ride at 12 minutes to Mall of America and under 30 minutes to Target Field, downtown Minneapolis. At Terminal 1, a tram from the Tram Level, one floor below bag claim, takes you to the platform. Ride apps meet passengers in the Terminal 1 Ground Transportation Center or on the Purple Ramp's second level at Terminal 2.

Travel tips

Arrive early for domestic flights

TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.

Pack a mixed carry-on

Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.

Screenshot your confirmation

Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.

Check in online when it opens

Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
