That is the problem. Also the fact they are always "remodeling" the place. Its been 30 years of "you can't get there from here, you have to go around this way". Wife and I went to Ireland last year and paid extra to fly into Dublin avoiding Heathrow.

Aww, that makes sense. I've only been there four or five times and hadn't noticed any construction detours, except for the lounge remodel, but I can see how someone who's been there more times would notice that the place is full of headaches.

EWR is the same way, their remodeling has taken forever. Perhaps not as bad as LHR (which I avoid too), but it's bad. Frankfurt ain't great, but beats London by a mile.

I have also been traveling a lot this year and in two days, the family is going going on a week’s vacation. The food options are better and crazy expensive. I’ve told everyone that we are not eating at the airports and you better buy your snacks before we get to the airport. Prices are nuts.

Terminal 2 at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is getting bigger.
Work on adding two more gates on the terminal’s north end started Thursday, and when the $263 million job is completed in 2027 the facility will have 18 gates, up from the current 14. The 168,000-square-foot expansion includes more seating for passengers flying out of gates H13 and H14, plus new restrooms, concession spaces, and additional space for airlines and tenants, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), which owns and operates the airport, said Terminal 2, which opened in 2002, serves Sun Country Airlines and six other domestic and international carriers. The terminal had its busiest month ever in March with a record 711,612 passengers and 4,588 landings and takeoffs, the MAC said. “We are seeing a surge in travel demand, highlighted by a string of record-setting months at Terminal 2 this year,” said Brian Ryks, CEO of the MAC. “This project is a long-term strategic investment to support our airlines, improve the passenger experience, and to keep pace with demand that fuels growth at MSP and in our local economy.” Earlier this year, the airport received a $20 million federal grant for the Terminal 2 project through the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Terminals Program. In a separate project, two new gates are set to open this fall on the south end of the terminal, the MAC said. And even more gates could be on the way. The MAC’s MSP Airport 2040 Long-Term Plan calls for adding as many as 18 more at Terminal 2. Also a BIG remodel on terminal 1. Lasting at least 10 years. |
