How to Park at the Hubert Humphrey Airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota

You already know that you ought to arrive at the airport at least one-and-a-half to two hours before your flight to allow for a security check and check-in, but it is often hard to know how much time to allow for parking. Like other airports, the Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) airport has a variety of options for short- and long-term parking, but also offers travelers a unique information system called Surepark. Surepark provides travelers with real-time airport parking availability for MSP's two terminals: Lindbergh and Humphrey.
