Airport Overview

Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD), also known as Joe Foss Field Airport, is three miles (6km) from the center of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the largest city between Minneapolis and Denver. Founded in 1883, this Midwestern city has about 150,000 permanent residents and is a major tourist gateway to the northern Great Plains.

Named for famous aviator Joe Foss, the airport began its life as a military base during World War II, and still serves as a Midwestern base of operations for the Air Force. Today it averages more than 200 commercial flights per day, moving more than 700,000 passengers per year.

Direct flights to Sioux Falls Regional Joe Foss Field Airport include those from Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Dallas, Denver, Orlando, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas. There are also connecting flights to more than 200 cities across the country.

Terminal Transfer

This is a small airport with just one terminal. All areas are easily accessible on foot.

Getting into Town

Train: Sioux Falls Transit operates a trolley system from the downtown area through the city from 10am to 8pm in summer.

Bus: The Sioux Falls Bus Depot in Russell Street has long-distance connections to most major cities in the US, and some in Canada and Mexico. There are also about 15 Sioux Falls Transit public bus routes through the city, with fares at $1 for an adult.

Car Parking

There are both long- and short-term car parks just outside the airport terminal. They both cost $1 for the first hour, another $1 for the second hour, and thereafter $8 and $6 a day respectively, or $30 a week for the long-term car parks.

There are self-service check-in kiosks in the terminal.

Airport Facilities

Money and communications: The airport has ATMs, but no currency exchange facilities.

Luggage: There are no left-luggage facilities for security reasons. For lost-luggage queries, contact the airline concerned.

Other facilities: Self-service check-in kiosks in the check-in area.

Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi at the airport is provided by Midcontinent Communications.

Shopping: Besides a couple of souvenir and gift stores, there’s really not much shopping to be had at Joe Foss Field. Sioux Falls itself is considered something of a shopping destination for the region, however, so you’ll find some better choices in town.

Food and drink: Besides a few vending machines and snack vendors, there’s just one sports bar in the airport; head there for a light sit-down meal while you catch the game.
