International arrivals go through the separate International Arrivals Facility (IAF), which has six gates and a Customs and Border Protection zone.

  • Traveling with children of different ages? Spend some time at the play areas in Terminal 1 on Concourse C near Gate C12 or in Terminal 2 across from Gate H5 while you wait for your flight. You can also take your child to the airfield observation area for a view of the airport.
  • If you're a senior traveler or have limited mobility, use the accessible areas at both airports and contact your airline before your trip to arrange any help you need. Airlines can provide assistance with boarding, luggage offloading and wheelchair access, which can help avoid delays before and after your flight.
  • After landing at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) from Nashville, take your pet to one of the relief areas in either terminal.
