Why go

Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport has two terminals, and the Blue Line links the airport corridor with downtown Minneapolis. Amtrak serves Union Depot in Saint Paul, so a rail arrival needs a further trip across the Twin Cities. Drivers approach downtown mainly by I-35W, I-94 or I-394; the final interchange deserves attention before you reach it.

Useful to know

  • Confirm whether your flight uses Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 before arranging an airport meeting or onward trip.
  • For an Amtrak arrival, plan the connection from Saint Paul's Union Depot to your Minneapolis destination.
  • Check the current Blue Line timetable and any service notices before relying on an airport train.
