DLH → MSP
Which side of the plane to sit from Duluth International Airport (Duluth) to Minneapolis-St Paul International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport (Minneapolis)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides provide scenic views of the Northwoods, the Right Side is preferred for its superior perspective of the downtown Minneapolis skyline and the Mall of America during the final approach into MSP.

Kettle River
A rugged, rocky riverbed snaking through the pine forests of east-central Minnesota.
Minneapolis Skyline
The modern glass skyscrapers of downtown Minneapolis, including the IDS Center and Wells Fargo Center.
U.S. Bank Stadium
The massive, angular black structure of the Vikings' stadium is easily spotted from the air.
Mall of America
Located just south of the airport, the enormous retail complex is a highlight just seconds before landing.
The right side is perfect for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the inland lakes. As the plane descends into the Twin Cities, keep your camera ready for the 'Chain of Lakes' and the dramatic Minneapolis skyline. If the flight lands toward the west, you will get a bird's-eye view of the Mall of America.
