Bar chart from J.D. Power survey, showing Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport as the US airport with the highest customer satisfaction
I love working at UMN and living in the Twin Cities. The #QualityOfLife is high, and the #CherryOnTop for this academic is that the airport and the number of direct flights are amazing - fully supported by a recent study published in Forbes, ranking #MSP as the best mega airport in the US
