G is the only part of the MSP terminal that is owned by DAL is being upgraded to the LGA model of food - restaurant seating with iPads and such.

Another dumb idea by Delta. Those McDonalds were always packed. MSP used to be one of the cheapest airports to get food in and now is quickly becoming one of the more expensive. Guess what is on the menu of the replacement McDonald's?......Burgers! Only now we get to pay $9 instead of $4.

PS - I apologize in advance if this is old info - busy with the Holidays.
Good find, didn't see that. Did you see the "Comments" file, look like over 10,000 comments. I don't have time to look at it now, but I'm sure there are some gems in there!

Looks like CVG isn't much of a commuter base - the 73N are very low, while the M88 is lowest (A and B)!

DTW 777A is the highest commuter percentage.

But they replaced a $8 burrito place with a FOs dream...Taco Bell!!!

Seriously, though, for those that are going to miss the McD's, there is a Burger King and Arby's literally less than 60 yards from the G1 McD's location...

Also, any Oregon fans on here? I am facing a serious lack of people to talk smack to about the Rose Bowl.

PilotFrog, you haven't switched allegiance to the Pacific Northwest, have you?

The way I see it, now I pay nothing instead of $4. That Goldfish snack bag just started looking better.

Don't forget McD used to give us free refills on caffeine.. Though i gotta say i'm quite impressed with how LGA food court has turned around. Just not sure if there are enough high rollers in MSP to peruse the new facility.

This food talk has taken a turn for the worse. Where's Buzz when you need him? I guess this is what happens when you are forced to view per-diem as part of income and not as a reimbursement...

I'd like to see a discussion of steak quality and such, this time next year rather than crocodile tears over Taco Bell and McDonalds...

Slice of the pie? I want to eat cake!

Cheers
George

On an different topic, anybody want to start a heating and cooling business with me? My heat went out last night. Temp sensor broke. Had it fixed this morning. Took the guy less then five minutes to change the part. Heat works again.

THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the repair. And that included a 15% discount, & no fee for the service call since we have a plan. $300 for 10 minutes. Unreal.
