Home to Northwest Airlines and one of the busiest airports in the country, Minneapolis is a gateway to the world. Minneapolis is located halfway between LA and NY. Step onto a plane from most major U.S. cities and you'll be here in less than 3 hours.

A major metropolitan area, Minneapolis is easy to get to – with the city surrounded by major freeways from all directions and light rail transit connecting the airport to downtown Minneapolis.
