[edit] Headline text

I am looking for information about international arrivals and departures. It would be helpful to have some information about where one can meet international passengers.24.8.157.237 02:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm guessing in retrospect they were asking for where to have bathroom sex. ::eye roll:: .:DavuMaya:. 15:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not sure about this one

"Due to noise concerns from South Minneapolis residents, when using this new runway, aircraft will always land to the north and takeoff to the south." I don't believe this statement is true, although I have heard it before. It was used to ease concerns about aircraft noise, but there certainly are instances where planes will have to take off and land the other way. Andercee 16:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

What's ‘dba’? —Mulad

Agreed, I work right next to the runway and can attest that they take off and land both directions at times. [Anonymous] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.42.28.156 (talk) 02:41, August 1, 2007

For the most part, it is true that traffic using the new runway 17/35 will avoid flying over the city. However, during the runway 12R/30L construction project during Autumn 2007, air traffic used both directions on that runway because 12R/30L was closed. Now that it is open again, traffic will very rarely overfly South Minneapolis on that runway. 72.160.236.129 (talk) 04:44, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eagle/Vail/Beaver Creek/Aspen Valley

This is listed as one destination under Concourse C, but I believe it is two different airports - Eagle County Airport and Aspen-Pitkin County Airport. The Wikipedia articles state NW serves both, but NW's route map shows only Eagle County[1].. --75.72.161.204 23:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

They no longer fly to Aspen [2]. I have changed this to "Eagle/Vail". --75.72.161.204 00:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manila

One user removed Manila from the list that Northwest Airlines fly to and said to list NONSTOP flights only. NWA has direct, non plane-changing service to MNL [via NRT]. Should Manila remain in the list or should it be removed? Bucs2004

I got in a discussion about this once regarding Qantas at JFK, which flies to LAX and onward to Sydney. The apparent rule is that if it's a long-haul international flight where the tag-on leg rarely changes (and Northwest's MSP-NRT flight has been continuing to Manila for a long time), then it stays. What shouldn't happen is for the domestic continuing flights that change frequently (i.e. for a few months a year or so ago, American had a same-flight-number PHX-ORD-MSP service, and in that case it doesn't get listed).

So to answer your question, in this case it is supposed to stay there. The same holds true for those feeder flights, like the one that is MSP-Mason City-Fort Dodge, and others like that. Those stay as well. But for instance Frontier should not be listed as flying to San Francisco from here, even though it does have a flight that is MSP-Denver-San Francisco.71.223.246.57 (talk) 03:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seperation of domestic/international flights

I've noticed that at a few US airports, some airlines domestic and international destinations are seperated. This is not set up in the standard form as set forth in the ProjectWiki Airport guide. Plus, when it's being done, it's inconsistent even within the airport page - i.e. DL and UA destinations being seperated at LAX, but AA and NW remaining intact. So, stop doing it. Thanks.

[edit] More References Needed

I belive this article needs more then just 3 references. Good luck Marcusmax 22:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Graphic showing original size and location of the MSP Airport and of Twin Cities Speedway Race track.

I created this graphic for a history book ("Richfield: Minnesota's Oldest Suburb") that the Richfield Historical Society (I am a board member) is coming out with. Is there interest for this on the MSP Airport page?

--Myotus 19:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

This is a wonderful graphic and I would recommend having it with a few suggestions: 1) Make it useful for the section Terminals, airlines, and destinations OR Runways (or both) as it is more user-friendly than the FAA version of the airport, and 2) Up-size the vectors so that information can be easily gleaned or inferred w/o having to click for a larger version. Wiki prefer graphics (maps, etc) that aren't photos to be very explicit especially when the article itself refers to the graphic, 3) colors! Davumaya 21:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Good points! I will work on them and get back with a modified graphic.
--Myotus 16:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I added color and more detailing the map and compacted it for better viewing.
Myotus —Preceding comment was added at 19:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I have created a new page, "Speedway Field" and have added this graphic as well as the following graphic I created along with information about Speedway field. I figure it might be better that cluttering up Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport with more graphics and historical info. It appears to be a large enough page as it is.
