Duluth International Airport is located 5 miles (9km) from the city of Duluth, the westernmost deep-water port city on the Atlantic.
Though the city is quite small, there is still enough to keep visitors busy. As it's the birthplace of Bob Dylan, it’s no surprise that Duluth hosts its own music festival, the Homegrown Music Festival, in May each year. It also has the only freshwater aquarium in the US, and a number of museums.
Duluth International is a small airport that sees little more than 300,000 passengers per year. It's linked to other major US cities, including Minneapolis, Detroit, and Chicago. As long as you’re not waiting around too long, there’s enough to keep you busy - you can enjoy a quiet drink and a snack, or use the time (and free internet access) to catch up on your emailing.

Bus: The Duluth Transit Authority Bus 5 leaves the airport on the hour. The fares are cheap – $1.25 for a single fare, or $3 for a day pass – though figuring out when and where to transfer to another bus can be a bit confusing.

Skyline Shuttles also service the airport from the Radisson Hotel – it'll cost you $42 one-way, or $69 return.
