Nope—C is still closed. F/G was surprisingly busy tonight. Agree with earlier poster that the renovations to the welcome area were a lot for naught. Surprisingly decent selection of individually-packaged foods. Only problem is that if you make the ramen noodles, the fork melts when you go to stir it!

What is on offer in the sky club these days? Have things improved or still just packaged snacks? Just one bar? Denver has a self serve bar. Miss the C club for that! Wonder when it will reopen?

Currently MN permits indoor restaurant dining at 50% capacity as well as outdoor service, so the local rules might make it a bit easier to offer more food here compared to some other locations. I would guess that if local regulations permit only grab-and-go/takeout/delivery/curbside, a SC could only offer packaged food and think of it as grab and go, even if people obviously are supposed to eat in the lounge. [OTOH, a Minneapolis order (from the Mayor) forbids guests from being in indoor bar areas, although being seated at indoor tables in a bar is fine, but Minneapolis ordinances don't apply to the airport which is located outside of city limits.]

The G concourse expansion is pretty much complete, and Delta has more or less taken over the space at the G17 rotunda to start the build. Now expected to open spring 2023. Here's a first photo from inside the space, courtesy of the Metropolitan Airports Commission.

PreCOVID-19, DL had daily nonstops to ICN and HND which were generally full. In fact, when the USA shut down, MSP wasn't on the list of airports allowed to process international arrivals. DTW continued to have some TPAC and TATL flights. So it's not surprising that MSP numbers are down more than other hubs.

Kyle from Thrifty Traveller has posted some actual interior renderings and a hard deadline for the club.
We've got six more long months til the new club finally opens in April 2023, but wow does it look nice.

Can’t come soon enough. Been flying thru there a lot lately to the west coast and I consistently land at the end of G. I’ll be there on Tuesday and can look around haha
