The scheduled time on ground is only 42 minutes so I am not sure that I would have time to get to the WC for a quick snack, and I'll be in F for drinks anyways (probably don't want to count on that predeparture drink though
). Also I have 2C on one flight and 2D on the next, so it would be easy for me to just slide on over.
Thoughts?
You should be able to stay on. Inform/ask the FA when you board at MSP, but chances are they will not know what flight uses the a/c next, so they may be indifferent. They may ask you to leave so that the plane can be cleaned, but if you wanted to leave baggage, I would think that would be fine. Again, advise the FA.
Re: The club. 42 minutes of ground time is plenty to stop in for a snack. It's certainly not a long walk from the gate...
