FAQ
Scope questions
Are MSP Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 connected airside?
Do not assume they are. Use MSP's current inter-terminal instructions and verify whether security re-entry applies to the itinerary.
Can the planner use a published train interval as a promise?
No. Transport status and schedules change; verify current instructions for the travel date.
Does checking the boxes mean the flight will be held?
No. Airline operational decisions and live disruptions remain outside this tool.
