Heavy Action at KMSP

This was when I was in KMSP a Little while ago and I was caught up with some heavy action at Terminal G,awaiting my flight down to KCLT

I was on a return journey from a visit to Las Vegas and it was an amazing experience btw.We had a Long Layover at KMSP and I managed to spot some heavies(I know the 772 was bound for RJTT,idk about the A333)
Anyways I just wanted to Share these photos as I personally Like these very much.KMSP is a really nice airport and I suggest u connect or pay a visit to Minneapolis.

At one point I walked to an area where I guess it was prohibited to be in and took some photos and the Delta agent was really ticked off

Not a fan of MSP, but nice shots!

I wonder why?
Only reason I’d hate MSP is that walk times are ridiculous

Spits out drink

Anyways, nice shots at MSP, I’m pretty sure the A330 was going to EHAM.

Pilot_urp · October 16, 2018, 1:52am

Yeah seems right
I was thinking EHAM or LFPG
EGLL would probably be a 763 imo

You all have to realize that MSP and DTW are the reasons Delta made CVG go from #2 Delta hub in the WORLD, to not even a hub anymore…

Pilot_urp · October 16, 2018, 1:54am

Haha I know ur a Cinnci native
Blame the merger
DTW and MSP were NWA hubs
CVG is now well… oof

Man I wish CVG was still the best! (Apart from Atalanta)

Great shots! I have only seen the A330 at MSP. Didn’t know they used the 777 and the 767 there! 😁

Pilot_urp · October 16, 2018, 1:56am

Yup they use the 772 for flights to Tokyo
Delta is adding a route to Seoul(idk the aircraft) that means more heavy action

@Pilot_urp you are a legend! Going to prohibited places to perceive your dreams of planes! I respect you a lot for doing that. Great job! btw. nice shots

Pilot_urp · October 16, 2018, 1:58am

Lol it wasn’t a big deal,I just got a little close to an area I’m not allowed to pass
I needed that 772 closeup:)

jantheman · October 16, 2018, 1:59am

Still, your a legend. I don’t think i would do that. And once again, really nice pictures.

MSP is really a great airport when weather is good, all you had was a little rain compared to what they usually get. And Delta thrives at MSP because of the little competition, especially international.

jantheman · October 16, 2018, 2:01am

That’s right @JeromeJ. Really good analysis and observations!

Pilot_urp · October 16, 2018, 2:03am

Same applies for DTW,Delta is all alone.
Oh wait Spirit is trying to make a home there 😒

I’m pretty sure the flight to Paris is also a 763.

Tnel · October 16, 2018, 2:07am

Also that A330 was going to Amsterdam, that was the flight I made to Amsterdam and then a connecting flight to Dubai on a 789.

AlaskaAir · October 16, 2018, 2:12am

Nice shots! I like the third one best!

Northwest · October 16, 2018, 2:43am

Low key MSP rated as best airport in North America but anyway… ;)

Northwest · October 16, 2018, 2:44am

Not usually- the Paris flight is usually an A330 or 777-200ER
