The April 2012 issue of Travel + Leisure magazine has named MSP Airport the best airport in America. The magazine’s criteria included seven categories: flight delays, design, amenities, restaurants, check-in and security, service, and transportation and location. The MSP Airport is considered “the most cheeriest and most welcoming airport in the nation.” The only low rating for MSP was for the Wi-Fi which has a fee. A free Wi-Fi option is expecting by the end of the year at MSP Airport.

“We take travelers’ opinions of our airport very seriously, and it’s gratifying to know that people around the country think so highly of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport,” said Jeff Hamiel, executive director of the Metropolitan Airports Commission. “Our goal at the Metropolitan Airports Commission is to provide our customers the best airport experience in North America. For MSP to be voted America’s best airport by readers of a major travel magazine is an indication we’re on the right track.”
