You may be familiar with the saying “less is more”. Well, that’s surely the case with Fargo’s Hector International Airport. Leave the hustle and bustle behind and rest easy knowing this airport has all the amenities you need for travel and none of the hurried chaos that comes with flying.

 

By The Numbers

Five gates

The number of gates that line the terminal, making it difficult to get lost or need to run from gate to gate. Stretch your legs before a long flight, but no need to sprint.

 

 

Twenty-minute wait time

The number of minutes it’ll take you to get through security. Yes, you read that right. With fewer passengers flying through Fargo, the two-lane security line won’t take you long to get through. And if you’re lucky enough to have TSA PreCheck, you betcha it’ll be closer to 10 minutes or less!

Speaking of security, we know the health and safety of you and your meeting attendees is at the top of your list of priorities. The same is true here. The Fargo Airport is taking extra precautions to minimize the risk of further spread of the COVID-19 virus with stringent cleaning and disinfecting processes in high-touch areas throughout the passenger terminal. The Airport Authority is closely monitoring Travel Guidance from State officials, the Centers for Disease Control, and the World Health Organization.

Sixteen flights per day

The number of daily flights that arrive and depart to major hub cities around the continental US on Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, and United airlines. Book your seat for non-stop service to connect in places like Minneapolis, Chicago, or Denver. With one layover, you’ll be here before you know it! Seasonal service is offered to six other destinations.

 

 

While You Wait

Shops and Food

While you wait, there are a few options before and after you get through security. The SkyDine Restaurant and Lounge and Subway offer a full menu; otherwise, a grab-n-go deli and snack kiosk are open for all departing travelers.

Stock up on North Dakota products, North Dakota State University gear, or that collectible item you must find when you travel at the gift shop after you land, or pack it into your carry-on on your way home to remember your awesome time in Fargo!

Entertainment

To create a relaxing ambiance, local artists and musicians have made their splash at the Hector International Airport with ArtWORKS at the Airport. This series of ongoing exhibits expresses who we are as a community through paintings, photography, and sculptures, celebrating Midwest agriculture or landscape, for instance.

Musicians are scheduled to make weekly appearances to welcome you or send you on your way with a smile and your toes tapping!
