Best Time to Fly to Minneapolis

Peak Season:

Billed as one of the most walk-able cities in the U.S., summer is a great time to take a flight to Minneapolis, in spite of the heat and humidity, because, with the city’s casual dress code and relaxed atmosphere, no one really breaks a sweat. With all the lakes and beaches in and around the city, be sure to bring your bathing suit and sun block.

Fall brings stunning foliage to enjoy as you stroll along the historic Riverfront District.

Off Season:

Halfway to the North Pole, just south of 45 degrees north latitude, Minneapolis is well known for its harsh and frigid winters. Temperatures can drop as low as -55 degrees Fahrenheit so if you plan a trip during this time, be sure to focus on the many and varied indoor activities unless you’re well-prepared for such dangerously low temperatures. Winter-like temperatures can last well into spring in Minneapolis with long stretches of bone-chilling showers.

Overview

From skyscrapers to state parks, Minneapolis has everything for any traveler. The twin cities – Minneapolis and St. Paul – are home to more than three million people and welcome millions of travelers on Minneapolis flights every year.

Pack light on your flight to Minneapolis; you’ll need the extra suitcase space. Minneapolis is home to the Mall of America, the largest mall in the nation that spans over 10 city blocks. You'll find more than 500 retail stores, an amusement park, and an aquarium. After a long day of shopping, revive and re-energize at one of the city’s many restaurants and bars.

Art and music lovers won’t want to miss a cheap flight to Minneapolis. Minneapolis is the birthplace of the American Regional professional theater movement, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Guthrie Theater, and the Minnesota Symphony. Even sports fans can find a reason to book a trip to Minneapolis. The MLB Minnesota Twins, NBA Minnesota Timberwolves and the NFL Minnesota Vikings are cheered on by Minneapolis residents and visitors. Whether your flight to Minneapolis is for arts, leisure, sports or business, there’s much to do in Minneapolis.
