How come Minneapolis has such a killer airport? The MSP airport is huge it has functioning shuttles, quick check in, better than average security lines, tons of shops and it clean with adequate seating at the gates. Why is San Jose’s airport so lame? SJC has 4 stores, lines everywhere, horrible parking, horrible security lines, horrible seating, and very angry check in people. Why? I imagine the population of San Jose is 3 times that of Minneapolis? Wouldn’t that create demand for a good airport?
