Route Briefing: Atlanta to Minneapolis
Covering 907 miles in roughly 2 hours and 33 minutes, the direct flight from Atlanta to Minneapolis links two major Delta strongholds. With Delta Air Lines and Southwest operating regular daily departures into Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), travelers enjoy frequent flights and competitive economy pricing year-round.
The Twin Cities combine pristine urban nature with a thriving Midwestern arts and culinary scene. Stroll across the historic pedestrian Stone Arch Bridge for sweeping views of St. Anthony Falls and the downtown skyline, or rent a kayak to paddle through the Chain of Lakes in Uptown. Food lovers will appreciate the award-winning dining in the trendy North Loop warehouse district, as well as the essential local rite of passage: ordering a molten cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy burger at Matt's Bar on Cedar Avenue.
Roundtrip economy fares under $140 represent a solid bargain, while standard fares range from $220 to $340. Summer from June to August is peak season when lakes, patios, and the Minnesota State Fair come alive. For great weather and cheaper flights, book 4 to 8 weeks out and consider traveling in late spring or early fall.
