🤯TRAVELING OUT OF MSP THIS WINTER OR SPRING?? YOU'LL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THESE NEW SERVICES - you're bound to take advantage of at least one!
🆒
MAC has opened an alternative pick-up and drop-off area at Terminal 2. The free Terminal 2 Express Lane is accessed through the Purple Ramp, with a covered loading zone on the second level offering quick access to the terminal via a sky bridge.
🚘
Parking will be in high demand over the next few weeks. Travelers can prebook parking online to guarantee a spot and capture the lowest daily rates. Bookings must be made at least 12 hours prior to scheduled arrival time.
📲
MSP passengers can reserve a spot in the security line for free through MSP RESERVE, which recently expanded to Terminal 1. Reservation times vary per terminal and availability is limited.
Travelers in Terminal 1 should check the checkpoint wait-time boards when they enter the ticketing lobby. Passengers can access all gates from either checkpoint, but the North Checkpoint often has shorter wait times.
👍
**TIP: Or log onto https://www.mspairport.com/ to check live-time parking capacity and checkpoint wait times, road closures/construction, traffic alerts and weather advisories. You can also pre-book your guaranteed parking space and reserve your spot in the security online, sign up for newsletters and more.
✍️
During busy times, drivers can go up or down to Terminal 1’s departures or arrivals levels to pick up or drop off passengers.
MSP’s cell phone lots on Post Road offer drivers a free place to wait until their passenger is ready to be picked up. Drivers should remain parked until their arriving party contacts them by phone before heading to the terminal pick-up zones.

Your dog dreams about you. 🫠 They dream of chasing the stick you kept throwing for them yesterday, running through fields, playing with their buddies at the park, but, most importantly (and most often), they dream of your face and your scent because you are their biggest comfort and greatest joy. You are their person. 🥰

This is why I never correct anyone's pronunciation of our company name. I'm always like, "yep you've got it!" I don't even use the proper pronunciation. I chose to say the word the way I read it (but everyone reads it differently haha). I chose the word for it's meaning, and it's the meaning that matters most. ☺️

Gökotta means "the act of rising with the sun to spend the first moments of the day listing to birdsong."

I'm a brick in the morning at home, but when I travel, I'm up with the sun, outside in nature (coffee in hand, of course) specifically listening to the birds sing.

Does anyone else do this?

My favorite morning birdsong is in Costa Rica (when you can hear them over the howler monkeys. 😆) The birds are so foreign and exotic to me there. It's such a peaceful start to the day...(unless you're in Kauai...those darn roosters aren't exactly peaceful lol)

The name is Swedish. No matter how you choose to pronounce it, we are Gökotta. Visit us at www.wearegokotta.com

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommas out there! I ❤️ this photo of my amazing Gö-Girl Sue. This is what parenting feels like to me sometimes. A total leap of faith, praying I’ll do it right and and that it won’t kill me in the end 🤣 🤷‍♀️ 🥰

This is why we call ourselves escape artists! This lovely couple works incredibly hard and deserved this ESCAPE. And the Mediterranean is ART itself. But hey, get this…we wanted them to have a special dinner and one night stay in a luxury boutique sea view hotel on the island of Hydra for their anniversary. The thing is, there are about 130 steps to get up to this charming hotel with the most stunning views. However, we are known for making magic happen 🪄✨💪🏻 We had donkeys waiting for them at the ferry port to take them and their luggage up the steps to the hotel! They loved the unique experience and it created a memory they’ll never forget. (Don’t worry about the donkeys. They are there in Hydra to help when you need them!) 😆🫏💙🇬🇷
