Where we'd actually go.
Escape Lounge
The Escape Lounge above Concourse E in Terminal 1 is MSP's only independent lounge — it welcomes any traveller on a pay-in basis regardless of airline or class, and also lets in eligible American Express Platinum and Centurion cardholders. The most flexible option if you don't have airline status.
Delta Sky Club
MSP is a Delta hub, so the Delta Sky Club is the anchor lounge here — open to Delta and SkyTeam premium-cabin passengers and eligible Sky Club members across Terminal 1. The natural choice if you're flying Delta out of Minneapolis.
United Club
The United Club on Concourse E, between gates E6 and E8, serves United and Star Alliance premium passengers and eligible members. The go-to lounge at MSP if you're travelling on a Star Alliance carrier rather than Delta.

How to get into lounges at MSP.
Minneapolis-Saint Paul is a Delta hub, so airline status drives most lounge access here — Delta and SkyTeam premium flyers use the Sky Club, and Star Alliance passengers use the United Club. The one lounge that doesn't need status is the independent Escape Lounge, which sells walk-in entry to any traveller and also admits eligible American Express cardholders. All the lounges sit airside in Terminal 1.
Walk-in day pass
The Escape Lounge above Concourse E welcomes all travellers on a pay-in basis, regardless of airline or class of service. Booking ahead is wise at busy times, and it's the only way into an MSP lounge without airline status or a membership.
Airline & alliance lounges
Delta and its SkyTeam partners reach the Delta Sky Club, MSP's hub-carrier lounge, while United and Star Alliance premium passengers use the United Club on Concourse E. Access follows your ticket, cabin and frequent-flyer tier.
