Shop Overview
JetSet News is MSP’s classic convenience newsstand—ideal for travelers who want something to read, a quick snack, or a last-minute essential without making an extra stop in the terminal. Expect a tight, easy-to-shop layout with fast checkout geared to passengers on the move.
The focus is on current newspapers, top magazines, and travel-friendly convenience items. While it’s not positioned as a local-souvenir boutique, it’s a reliable place to grab practical items (gum, mints, chargers, earbuds, basic toiletries) and a broad range of reading material for flights of any length.
What to Buy
- Best-sellers for flying: water and soft drinks, grab-and-go snacks (chips, candy, protein bars), gum/mints for takeoff and landing, and quick comfort items like tissues or lip balm.
- Flight reading: popular weekly and monthly magazines (news, lifestyle, sports) plus puzzle books and bestselling paperbacks when available—perfect for longer flights or delays.
- Last-minute essentials: phone charging cables, earbuds, travel-size personal care items, and basic OTC convenience items (selection varies by day).
- Value note: JetSet News is not duty-free, so don’t expect duty-free-style savings. Prices are typical of an airport newsstand—convenience-forward and usually higher than off-airport retail. For duty-free pricing on liquor, tobacco, beauty, and some gifts, consider MSP Duty Free locations in Terminal 1 if you’re eligible to shop.
Location & Hours
Location: Terminal 1 at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). JetSet News is listed among Terminal 1’s shopping options and is commonly used as a quick stop as you move through the main retail areas and concourses.
Directions: If you’re in Terminal 1, follow overhead signs toward the primary shopping corridor (the MSP Mall area) and look for the newsstand storefront; if you’re heading to your gate, it’s a smart stop before you commit to a longer walk down the concourse.
Security: Many Terminal 1 shops cluster around the MSP Mall, which has pre- and post-security access depending on the storefront. If you’re short on time, plan to shop after you know your checkpoint and route.
Hours: Specific daily hours can vary; many Terminal 1 retailers operate roughly 6:00 am–9:00 pm. Check the official MSP store listing on the day you travel for the most accurate hours.
Peak times: Early mornings (first wave of departures) and late afternoons (business travel rush) are busiest. Quietest windows tend to be mid-morning and early afternoon, when browsing is easier and lines are shorter.
Shopping Tips
- Duty-free reminder: JetSet News is a standard retail newsstand. If you’re an international traveler seeking duty-free allowances and savings, shop at MSP Duty Free instead and confirm your destination’s import limits.
- Timing tip: If you want a specific newspaper or the newest magazine issue, shop earlier in the day—popular titles can sell through during peak periods.
- Returns: Airport convenience purchases are often final sale or limited-return (especially for food and media). If you’re buying electronics accessories, ask for the return/exchange policy before paying.
- Payment: Expect major credit/debit cards and mobile wallet payments to be accepted; cash is typically accepted as well.
